I have a couple friends who I have often wanted to tell, but always chickened out. Only a couple people I know have any idea I dress, and one of them is someone who also identifies as trans. I have a great friend that I really wanted to share this with before I moved from the midwest, but chickened out at the last minute. I was actually sitting at home dressed when she called me up to chat, and for a split second I almost said to her, "can you come over? i want to talk about something with you." I know she would have done it, but I froze and let the moment pass. I think the desire to share with those we love is strong, but so tough....maybe I still will one day.
