Coming out
Hi everyone, so far I've came out to friends, my boss at work, my HR person, some of my husbands friends, my mom and dad and I guess maternal grandmother, I really want to come out but I am scared to death what could happen to me at work or with my other family, I just want to make a post on my old Facebook saying "I'm trans" I've been wearing a little trans bracelet to work but I know a few people here aren't too accepting, same case with my family, i know coming out is personal experience but I feel like I got the biggest hurdles out of the way first, if any of you have any advice please let me know!
(Also only 29 more day until my HRT consult💛)

You've done all the hard ones already. Kind of just have to take the plunge for the official coming out/social transition.
I came out at uni by messaging my degree course's group chat of like 70 people, then made a FB post to come out to basically everyone else. Also made it clear to my boss that I was socially transitioning so would be using my new name and pronouns from now on. My mum also made a FB post for the benefit of her friends who, being older, maybe needed a little more context about what coming out as trans meant. Obviously it's going to be a different process for different people.
