My answer was the honesty and the lessening of the burden. But here's my question. If nobody knows then is in really lying if we keep that part of us to ourselves? What do hope to gain from coming out? Do we hope it takes our friendship to another level? My wife knows all about me and is very supportive and accepting. So why do I feel the need to burden someone else with that knowledge when it really has nothing to do with them? I'm very curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
What do we have to gain? We all have to bear our own crosses individually. I came out because I could not live with the lie any longer and for me to be able to express my feminine side whenever I wanted to without worrying about who might unexpectedly see me, I said enough was enough and just came out. They need to deal with any issues they may have; I have none. Since coming out, no more, nerves on edge, no more hiding anything, no more looking over my shoulder, no more sneeking around, no more nothing!
