I've decided to come out as transgender
Why did you decide to come out as trans?
I needed to make a change in my life. I wanted to stop lying to myself and to family and friends.
It's up to you when you're ready to tell people that you're transgender, but you shouldn't hide it for too long. Keeping such a core detail about yourself private isn't fair to the people that love you, and it's also not fair to yourself.
I know, which is why I will tell everyone next week.
You should do what's best for you, and if that means coming out as trans, then do so proudly. Doesn't matter what others may think.
