So I went home to LA this past weekend for my cousin's wedding (an anxiety fueled experience because I had to wear a fucking suit, but that's a story for another day) and I started planting a few seeds with my two best friends because I want to come out to them first. Growing up I never would have expected them to be accepting of this but I was rather surprised. Friend A we'll call him was the one I would never think would be cool with it. He shocked me though, we actually saw a trans woman and another friend (not one of the two who's opinions I care anout) made a "tranny" comment and friend A shook his head and told other friend that is not cool. Then friend A said she was looking good and told other friend "I've seen you talk to girls at the bar, she has way more courage than you." We all laughed. It made me feel so good inside to hear that from someone I've known for so long. Especially because he used proper pronouns, and she really was looking good!
Friend B is my closest guy friend and one who I think would accept me. I kind of brought up some things like crossdressing, and was really surprised he told me his gf's best friend was a cder and they go to the bar while he's en femme. Great right?! Then he said he thought it was pretty "fucking weird" though and didn't understand why any guy would want to go out like that. I was a bit letdown but I felt more like maybe he said that because he thought we'd think he was weird for going to a gay bar with a crossdresser, I don't know.
Anyway, I just started counseling and I really want to come out to them soon, like next time I visit hopefully. Any advice on how I should finally broach the subject and drop the bomb?
(Sorry ifmthis was long)
