How did they take it? One of my friends (his sex is female) is currently coming out as a male. It honestly didn't surprise me. Was anyone you came out to genuinely surprised? I'm very aware of the self-doubt one goes through while coming to terms with being transgender; I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

everyone has taken it well. a fair few people have been surprised (I'm not the standard media-portrayal waiflike and/or flamboyant transwoman), but totally okay with it and were then less surprised when they thought back on "signs". I have a tendency towards flying under the radar, though I will be going through a social transition at school (my Orchestral director and the head of my master's program knows and is supportive).
