I'm Out To My First Person!

[Guest JadeK]

I spent most of this weekend with my best friend. She's been in my life since we were 11 and we're 19 now, so she's watched me grow up into this body that isn't right. She knows me so well that I figured she had some idea, and for as long as I've acknowledged that I'm trans, she's been the person I've wanted to tell.

We were hanging out this morning, and she said something like 'I've always had this feeling that you don't feel right, like there's something about you that you want to change.' Is that a perfect opportunity or what? I could barely force a single word out, but I told her that yeah, there's something about me that's not right, my body. She looked a bit puzzled, so I said all in a rush 'I'm a girl'. The first thing she said was 'that makes sense', then she gave me a hug and said that she was half expecting me to tell her that, and that she's always here for me. I asked her to call me Jade from now on, and she said she would. Having one person in my life who knows feels so much better than having no one

Congrats Jade,

Coming out to that first person is hard but it seems she knows you pretty well to pick up on it before you said a word to her.

You now have the first person in your support base that is important if you are thinking about transitioning.

HUGGLES!

What a wonderful friend you have, Jade. She is not only warm, loving and understanding, she is perceptive as all get-out.

With friends like that, your journey to womanhood will be so much easier.

HUGS
