Hiya ladies,

With my hair growing, nails manicured, and eyebrows shaped, it’s going to become harder and harder to boymode inconspicuously around family or friends (only my partner knows). On the other side of that, I’m nowhere near passing or even presenting femme in public, which makes the idea of coming out quite scary as they’re seeing masculinity when I’m declaring femininity.

Part of me wants to wait like two years and then one day suddenly appear as my new completely feminine (hopefully beautiful!) self without any warning or advance notice! So people see the best version of myself, rather than seeing the mid-transition mess I am right now (or pre-transition mess I was!). But realistically I know that’s not gonna work!

So I’d love to hear some coming out stories and when in your transition you decided it was right for you! And how those you came out to responded, if you’re comfortable sharing that!

    Not on HRT, but im really in luck with my face i guess…,
    I’m doing my nails, curly or brushed long hairs, makeup,
    Anarchist Lesbian Look,

    Im not seeing my family, and if i have to do, for an execption, i can go in boy mode. I got insults because you know, just hairs.
    So like you, i think, one day i will appear to them as real me, but not now.

    Now that you have my context ^^",
    For now, im doing my CO, at work. No choice ofc.
    That wasnt a surprise for them of course. They were alreadry chocked before.

    The positiv part, in all of this, i gained confidence.
    And i can see, who is an “ally”, at least not hostile, without being in my paranoia H24,

    The biggest positiv part ? I want to try something new on my face, outfit, i just can without thinking anymore.
    Yeah im superficial ah ah
