Hey there everybody! :3
I am a student and live in a shared house with 5 other guys I've known and lived with them for almost 2 years now. I've arrived at the point where I no longer feel ashamed of myself like I used to be, being transgender is now something I don't feel I need to hide. In fact, I don't want to live my life as a lie, I'm 21 and feel at this point I can either be me or get firmly in the closet forever. I feel that I am in a locked cage with the keys in my pocket. So, I want to come out to my house mates, knowing that a secret can never be put back, knowing it will spread and knowing there is an inherent risk that I am exposing myself too.
I am not feeling scared of the risk though, I think of worst case scenario and think.. At least I can be me in my own home, I can be who I am. I'm not phased by the bad, because the freedom of expression is what I seek. However I still think, maybe I'm being naive, maybe I've not considered something..
I need advice and am willing to take from any who would like to give!
Thank you!
