Well, it as close as I’ve ever gotten
Hi! I (18, gods know what but my passport says M) have spent the last few years contemplating my gender. I’m still not really sure what I am but I slowly become more and more convinced that I’m at least not cis.
I spent this afternoon and evening thinking about and preparing to come out to a friend of mine. This friend is, as far as I’m aware, completely supportive of the community and I’ve thought about coming out to her (if that’s even the right term when I was only going to tell her I don’t think I’m cis.
Anyways, after writing a text and agonizing over if I should send it I ended up not doing it because my parents came home and for whatever reason I would rather tell my friend when I’m alone (even though it’s just through a text). So I ended up staying in the closet for a while longer. Still, this is the furthest I’ve ever come to come out to anyone I know irl, and I’m quite proud of that progress. It’s still scary as hell, which is the reason I didn’t send the text the moment I finished writing it, but I’m glad that I got even this far, even though it in the end didn’t lead to anything. Next time I might actually take the plunge.
Just wanted to share this progress! Thanks for reading!
