how did you guys come out to friends and to family (specifically if you knew they'd be accepting but you've been friends for years ideally, but any answers would be great)

for people who’re accepting but don’t know much about being trans, they’ll match your vibe: if you’re nervous, they’ll be nervous; if you take the time to write a letter, they’ll take the time to read it; if you’re casual about it, they’ll be casual about it; if you treat it like a celebration, then they’ll celebrate. think about how you want them to react, then work backwards to figure out how you want to come out :)

I mean I didn’t really “come out”, but they know I am a crossdresser who has dysphoria (even if I am attempting to avoid medical steps). My sister caught me crossdressing, so that was how it started. For my parents I wrote a letter and gave it to them, helps because it’s hard to actually talk out loud sometimes.
