Hey, I don't know if there's anybody who's been through this who might have advice or some such, but basically I'm ftm (female-to-male) trans. I've never come out except to close family and a friend (though it is fairly obvious), but in the next couple of weeks I'm going to uni and it's my intention to come out then. I'm not bothered about the coming out to strangers per se, apart from the fact that I hate identifying as ftm but I don't pass astonishingly well - I get kicked out of female changing rooms sometimes, sometimes not - so I'll have to explain that to people which is embarrassing, but, I suppose necessary. What I'm having a problem with is how to come out to my current friends, all of whom suspect but don't know for definite and haven't asked. Typing it here it sounds like a huge overreaction >_< but I really have no clue how to broach the subject to them. And while we're here, I'm generally bad at broaching subjects so, though my parents do know, they keep trying to dismiss it as a phase and I don't know how to talk to them, basically.
So, really, I suppose my question is whether anybody has any advice about coming out to people you already know quite well....
