[womantrapped2005]

do what your heart tells you, your heart usually knows what it is doing

Yeah, I gotta agree. I'm all for coming out because it's the best thing I ever did, but your situation at home may be different than mine. Just take your time until you think the moment is right, I think you'll know when that is.

Do you have to come out of the closet? If you are happy in the closet then there is no reason to come out.

So do you want to come out to a particular person/people or to the world in general, there is a different approach when it's particular people and your knowledge of them.

Many times I fought with myself about my feminine self! and the scary thoughts of what others think? My fam, freinds, and the public at large is the least to worry about! The general public,society how ever you see your community? Those people are pretty much the ones that will pass very qiuckily in my travells! I will never get to know them? and as for fam I just showed up fully decked out! it was tough to deal with because I knew I cannot discard my fam as fast as a stranger! some accept and some do not!
I am ok with this and I know that I cannot change others thinking? much less feelings about me? This really goes with how you are with yourself hun? are you ready? And the beauty of being free is less stressful and amazingly stunning as well reamarkabley beautiful~ is how I feel deep inside myself thus gives me stregth to be who I am~true to myself and let love guide you to your own life and the possiblities are endless love! God Bless Eileen and girl luck does not roll with life! that belongs in a lotto! or a crap table! lol ;)

My best advice is to read some of the threads in archives on coming out and think about it,then think about it some more.When and if you do come out of the closet is a decision only you can make,you will know when the time is right.

Some things in life can't be reversed. You will never be able to take back the confession. If in doubt......don't.....until you are ready.

You don't say whether your thinking of comming out to everyone or just to certain people, if it's everyone fine, but if it's just a select few work on the assumption that they will tell and word will get out as others here have found out to their dismay. Unfortunatly no matter how good intentioned, people are not very good at keeping secrets. All it takes is one person to assume that someone else already knows and then BAM your outed. If you can live with that and all the implications great, if not it's almost unfair to burden someone else with your most intimate secret. Sorry if this seems negative I don't mean it to be.
Remember you can come out anytime but once out you can't come back in.(yiks.. I sound like the door man of my local night club!)
Hope for the best prepear for the worst.
