I would like to come out and tell a friend...a bit lengthy but would love feedback

[michelle33]

When I woke up this AM, I immediately thought of the day ahead and having undress from my nightwear, pack away my breast forms and go out and meet people, run errands and do stuff. I lay in bed for a while - quite a while actually and thought about my predicament.

I've a close girl friend (we've been friends since I was 18 (am now 37) who is actually married to a good friend of mine. She's a great girl in many ways (and very attractive and extremely fashion conscious and on-it with clothes, make up, jewellery etc.) Anyway, I really want to tell her about Michelle for the following reasons:

I want to be able to me with someone else who isn't a guy (read: casual encounter)
I'd love to have someone to talk to and go for coffee/drinks with
She's uber chic and fashionable and would love to go shopping with her and hang together as girls
I think she will be very understanding but it could obviously go the other way and she may think I'm a freak
But ultimately, I want that closeness with a real girl who I can be me with
Also, while I am still a closet 'girl' at the moment, I really feel my direction and future is already written and think it's only a matter of time before I transition (time range within the next 5 years just to be clear)

The cons are that she reacts badly, tells her husband whom I'm good friends with and then I'm cooked!

So I had the following in mind. Write her an email from my Michelle email address along the following lines (about a post I wrote on this forum) and see how she responds:

Telling my Friend about Michelle -

So I've decided I really want to share my secret about my other side, i.e. liking to dress as a woman with a girl I know. This is scary on many levels as I've never told anyone and am terrified but she's a sweetheart, a really good person and everyone loves her and trusts her, but I am still terrified. But the more I've thought about it, the more I want to tell her. She's also really fashionable and always looks fab and I love the idea of going shopping with her for clothes and spending time with her as me being me, i.e Michelle. She has no idea and this will come as a big shock to her but as I said, she's an amazing person and I am pretty sure she will keep my trust and be there for me.What do you guys think?


I wrote the above on a forum to get feedback about sending you this mail.

Would love to get your feedback on this. Thanks to all in advance.

Michelle
