Some years ago, on another National Coming Out Day, I came out as trans to all my online friends. Today I just came out to everyone I know on Facebook, including some members of my family. (I don't really have any close family left--nobody I felt I needed to tell in person.)

It was time, but I am really nervous. I have almost no experience of coming out to people who know me in person, plus I have a friend who's said TERF-y things and I have no idea how my extended family are going to react.

Well, anyway, it's done now. I may never dare to look at my Facebook page again.

Thanks! Amazingly, my possibly TERF friend has liked my post, so that's good.

I hope it goes well and that people are not assholes.

It sounds like it went okay? I'm glad - I hope it all stays safe.

You have more courage than I do.

Thinking of you. Hope it goes well.

Best of luck for everyone to react sensibly, as they darn well ought! And good on you for recognizing when it was time and having the courage to follow through -- both hard in their own ways.
