Surprising how oblivious people can be. With my parents, it took me 6 months to say something. I thought it was kinda obvious I had some changes by that point (small enough that it would be easy to hide but I didn’t always wear extra layers) and my brother agreed. After I came out, one of my moms commented that I “suddenly had boobs.”
At 8 months, I saw another queer family member for the first time in years, I was wearing a snuggish women’s tank top, and I guess she still apparently didn’t notice anything either and she was immediately accepting and subtly affirming with no delay or awkwardness.
Looking forward to trying this again with a friend or two now that it’s been over a year and it’s a bit more obvious.
I wanted to do that too, but it didn’t work out. Turns out I really needed to be a total girl all the time.
Damn, yeah I heard people can be completely oblivious when they already know you for a long time. We’ll see!
