@Dimduning a little yes. It's something I can overcome for sure. Probably it's mostly a matter of changing this internal policy I've had for so long. But it's time to move things forward I guess. The social needs to start to match the physical and mental...

@Eve @Dimduning it's hard, but I think you're ready to plan, if not also do it. I personally wrote a generic coming out letter, and mostly just used it as an exercise for coming out to everyone orally.

And understand coming out is never a one and done thing. There's multiple people, misunderstandings, and so on. I still come out as a full time trans woman who doesn't always pass. Because I need to make it explicit knowledge I'm trans rather than implicit sometimes.

@ikea_femme @Dimduning thank you for this.

I think I will start on an individual basis first, this seems like a reasonable strategy and also I'm doing it anyway... the idea of writing a letter is a really good one I think too.

@Eve @Dimduning yeah, you don't need to send it. But it gets your story straight, and gives you something to print and hand off if somebody says, "Can I tell everyone in $GROUP? How do I tell them?"

@ikea_femme @Dimduning yeah. This question came up already actually

@Eve @ikea_femme I know, I just agree. 😉

@Eve @ikea_femme Letters were a good way to do it for me; I did almost all my coming out in text. A matter of individual preference, of course. But yeah, it's a process for sure, I started coming out to my loved ones about a year before I went full time.

@Dimduning @ikea_femme it looks like that's going to be my timeline too I think

@fluffy thank you 😊❤️
