Now 5

[Guest Naomi Stardust]

came out to one more friend

that makes five...

she hasn't really responded yet

but i think she will be supportive

it's weird, but the more people i come out to the more i look forward to coming out to more people

i still get nervous, and i am not ready to tell my father (though i need to do that soon) but every person i tell is a little weight off my shoulders

and i am noticing it adding up

i already know the next two people i want to come out to

now if i can only arrange a private moment to talk...

the more i talk out loud about being transsexual

the more confidence i seem to have

albeit small tiny little minuscule increases in confidence

but more confidence nonetheless

just thought i'd share

Isn't that weird how that works?

When I came out to my doctor I was terrified..but I got through it...after I lost the shakes I thought..."Hey, I wanna make some appointments with other doctors and come out to them, too!"........lol

It does seem to get easier (Notice I didn't say easy) as we go along. And it's something that is every Trans person's future sooner or later....

So good for you, Naomi..I'm very happy that you are chalking up the numbers!

Keep at it, Hon....There's only about 6.4 Billion to go......

Congratulations Naomi,

It does get easier, but it still isn't something that you would feel comfortable doing all of the time, like at the receiving line at a wedding.

The Bride says, "Naomi, I'd like you to meet my husband, Bill."

"Hi, Bill, I'm a transsexual, I betcha didn't know that."

No, not that comfortable!

And you need to learn a lot of languages for the rest of the 6.4 billion.

Congrats again,

Sally

It's never easy but as everyone says here, it seems to get easier, and sometimes it gets to be fun. My son says I was WAY too serious when I came out to him! He thought i might have been dying of cancer or something.

I do better now, not exactly "Hi, Bill, I'm a transsexual, I betcha didn't know that." yikes Sally - grin. But somehow I got up to 25 and quit counting.

Like DJ said - wait? What is 6,400,000,000 minus 25? Let see - move a one over seven times to make a 10, then take each 0 and make a 9 - wait? EXACTLY 6.4 billion? I bet at leasrt 25 people were BORN as I wrote this! AUGGGGGGGGH - I am already falling behind!

Seriously, it is a serious business, and congradulations on your progress.

I find there is a real satisfaction somehow, usually. But there can be rejection so be prepared.

Good fortune on your journey.
