I’m getting more confident in myself and starting to come out to more people, but I feel like I don’t know how to? It always feels awkward.
Obviously for some people it might need to be more of a conversation, but for friends that I know will be supportive, does it need to be anything more than a text saying “hey, fyi, I’m trans. This is my new name and pronouns”?
For me, “I go by <name> now” was enough, since I don’t like to make a big thing of it. Usually my appearance is enough to get the message across, but if I need to my usual lines are either “I’ve joined the girls’ team” or “I gave up being a man”.
