My boy mode keeps getting less and less convincing… and I love it lol

It does make me feel like I should probably hurry up and finish coming out to everyone who doesn’t know yet, before people start figuring it out on their own 😬

Same, but coming out is so hard. I haven't had a single good reaction, and a few horrible ones, I need new friends 😫

It’s so scary, isn’t it?! I’m sorry to hear your friends haven’t been supportive, you definitely deserve better

I’ve been very fortunate that everyone I’ve come out to so far has been really positive and supportive. But I also started with all the “easy” ones: my queer and progressive friends, my therapist, etc. And I still have to figure out how to manage coming out to my conservative Catholic family, and at work.

I feel like I’m spending so much time agonizing over what might happen, I just need to have it be done so I can deal with whatever actually does end up happening

I started out with my safe ones as well. I'm really priveledged that I already had such amazing supportive friends and most of my family. Julia, I hope that you're able to find better IRL friends or that your existing friends come around.

And I still have to figure out how to manage coming out to my conservative Catholic family

easy: just tell them that you've decided that the ancient (christians love antiquity) beauty ideal of long, flowing hair and a female posture is superior after all and that you reject the modern, secular short haircut, etc.

I was wearing sports bras because going down the stairs hurt and still had only come out to 3 people at work. Lots has changed in the years since then though.

If it's anything like me, half the people in your social circle you "boy mode" around already suspect. 😆

If they do, they’re being very polite and not saying anything about it 😂

Well, what are they going to do? Ask "hey, are you transitioning?" If the answer is no, how mortifying would that be? It's like asking if someone is pregnant, you don't, even if you're sure.
