Coming Out To My Ex And Other Things

I thought I would just share my experience on how I came out to my ex.

Given it was 3 yrs ago, I might not remember everything.

Well me and my ex were dating for 1 yr 3 months before we broke up, and we are still really good friends, I can tell her anything, and vice versa. Well, she likes honestly and the truth a lot, which I can see why cause you don't want to be lied to. Well we got to talking and I starting talking about my past and the things I did. Dressing into my mother's clothes when I was 12, now 19. And she asked me if I still did that stuff and I told her not as much. It was a surprise to her, she didn't understand but she didn't' want to judge me, she is very open-minded, which I love about her. After the break up I told her that I think I was bi, and she said she could see that, which iono how. I'm still confused what I am, pry more bi-confused than anything. She is really the only person that knows about the stuff I have done, I couldn't tell my family, too Conservative, all of em. Don't feel like telling my friends cause I don't believe they would understand. So I'm glad I have her and forums to talk to.

Well recently I told her I still liked the thought of wearing panties and bras. I told her that I wanted to buy some panties on-line, then I told her the next day I ended up buying em, my first own article of girl clothing, don't have it yet, its coming in the mail, but back on track. She asked me what kind, color, if I was gonna take pictures in them, I then asked if she wanted to see me in them she replied "ya iono maybe". I know she is still kinda confused bout the whole thing but I think she is becoming more interested as I go along. Cause when we talk on-line she'll ask me if I got my panties yet? One day she asked me if I liked guys or girls, I told her girls, she then asked if I liked penis or vagina, told her vagina. She pry is trying to figure out why I would do this stuff and if I'm just confused if I want to be a girl or boy. I took a survey from this site and it said that I like being both, which I have to tell her about that survey I took. I plan on writing her a note telling of my past things that I haven't told her yet, maybe she'll understand some more about it and me.

I'm still trying to get back with her, but I'm here in Germany, and in the Military, so its hard for us to see each other and hard for me to dress, thats why I have to buy stuff on-line. I have an outfit saved on target.com that I'm ready to buy but still deciding if I really want to buy it and where I'm gonna hide it.

Whew that was alot, think I'm leaving stuff out, oh well,

Hi Robyn,

Thank you for sharing with us. You're lucky to have such an understanding ex. Many of us here don't have that luxury.

Wow, your situation sounds similar to mine, except my ex is a lot more supportive. I've always been afraid of how far in I should go about telling her, but I think I've pretty much laid myself bare in the last week or 2. I've found that some people just aren't comfortable in dealing with this kind of difference, and present the awkwardness in strange ways. Time is the best solution in my opinion though, just ease everything into its proper place.

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.

      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you!

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.

      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r

    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.
