When you have come out* to people what has worked well?
Also were there things you noticed that did not work out well?
I'm not speaking of the persons reactions, I'm speaking of the way you did things. Did you have a plan? Was there something you did that helped it go smoother/helped you feel better about the situation and/or was there something you did that you think made things go worse than they may have?
*I know that coming out often indicates the really big times, but I would also include all of the "little coming outs" The times for instance each day that someone who is transitioning may need to explain something to someone they encounter. So when I ask about coming out, I would include everything from the giant talk with the wife who hasn't known for 100 years down to the awkward moment with a stranger and everything in between.
