Reacting To Your Funny Coming Out Stories 

I came out on Facebook at 16 by posting a status that said “first one to comment is bisexual” and then immediately commenting “surprise”

I came out to my mom as asexual, it ended up with her realising she’s on asexual spectrum as well

Told my dad I was transgender and he went "That's okay! I love you!" Then he paused for a min and went "What's Transgender?" He was a bit confused but he had the spirit lol

I came out to my classmates by accident by pointing to a graph I made and saying "those lines are about as straight as I am" i little too loudly

I came out to my grandma by sending her a photo of a cake saying "its a boy!" and she preceeded to freak out and call my mom to ask if I was pregnant *facepalm*

When I came out as trans to my younger brother he said 'as long as you don't suddenly start to talk about cars and sports we can be brothers, otherwise you'll be disinherited!' (the disinherited bit is a standing joke between us)

Came out in the way out of a club screaming "I'M NOT A GIRL" and then my friend asked if I was trans, I said yes and then they said "Oh, me too" since then our enby friendship only grew

got caught texting a friend about nsfw fanfiction by my Extremely Conservative mother when i was like 16 and came out as trans as a distraction and it Worked. but now i must never bring up that moment all these years later.

That was a very supportive friend for explaining how to pee outside 😂

When my best friend came out as bi, her mom blamed me for turning her. I was honestly just flattered that she thought I possessed such a power.

After I came out as ftm (no T) my grandma said I “smell like a boy.” I was like “is my BO really bad?” And she was like “no you don’t smell like body odor. you just smell like a boy. boys and girls smell different.” And I would say granny’s off the shits but there are many instances where she has correctly smelled things that other people can’t so now I’m haunted by this interaction..... is there science behind this???? Can my grandmas super nose sniff out trans people???? I’m scared

I live in Denmark and my first girlfriend, D, was an immigrant and she didn't speak any Danish, so we spoke English together. She didn't have any family in Denmark, so I invited her to spend Christmas with my family. But of course that meant I had to come out to my (at the time) 80 year old grandmother. So, I told her on the phone "D is actually not just my friend. She is my girlfriend. And she is going to celebrate Christmas with us this year." And my grandmother blurted out "Oh no!" And my heart skipped a beat before she continued "... my English is so horrible! How am I going to talk to her". My 80 year old grandmother was more concerned about the fact that she couldn't get to know my girlfriend because of a language barrier than she was about finding out her granddaughter is queer 🥺🥺

I’m gay and trans and after I came out to both of my parents, they said to my sibling “well at least one of our kids is cishet” ........ yeah they’re a nonbinary lesbian. we really said the bloodline ends here.

I came out to my mom as trans via text and she literally just went "no shit"

As a pre everything trans guy, I feel so much euphoria from seeing other trans men who not only pass but look incredibly attractive. Like props to you man, maybe one day I’ll be there

I came out socially as trans right before starting gr12. The first day of school I was on the bus and this kid I knew sat beside me and was like "hey [deadname]" and I said "uhh actually I changed my name to Noah" and he was like "oh, why?" and I didn't know how to respond to his question so I was just like "cuz I have gender dysphoria" and he was like "oh, nice"

I've been stealth for a couple of years now, and when I was working at my old job, my coworker asked me: "Do you think you'd look hot if you were a chick?" to which I said that, well, I've seen it already, and it wasn't great. "Oh, you did drag?" "No, I'm trans." .... "WHAT?" It took him by surprise, but we had a good laugh and he's always been very supportive and kind. Never treated me any differently even after finding out that I'm trans. Love him to bits.

I came out by email. My soon to be sister in law first replied supportive then jokingly replied “what will your cats think?”

It concerns me that tys first reaction to the word tripping is to assume drugs 😂

My mom found my binder and then came into my room and decided that her first interaction with me on that day would be "is that your breastbelt?"

I had someone tell me they wanted to get me a pushup bra and tape for tucking. A little confused but he got the right spirit

I came out as Bi when I was 16 because I couldn’t handle saying the longer word lesbian. Then I came out as a lesbian, then 30 years later came out as ftm, then nonbinary and now I have to tell them I’ve been diagnosed ASD. The laughs just keep coming. “What the F next Jon???”

Came out to one of my coaches as ftm and asked her to tell everyone else. I wasn't sure how everyone took it, but a little while later, I was in a lesson with my male coach. He was trying to explain something and he just sighed and said "idk man just swing your hips and fling your dick forwards." Got a good laugh from that, we now frequently joke about it

I came out to my mom as bi and she also came out as bi...I hinted to my mom that I might not be a girl and she freaked out and told me it was the video games making me think this way...

Me and my sister where clothes shopping. Sis: no guy wants to date a girl that dresses like a grandma Me: well...men aren't my only option. Sis: ok...NO ONE wants to date someone that dresses like a grandma. So ya it went well

“Maybe you smell like weed and Ritalin.”😂🤣😂

Came out to my dad when I was 16. This man has no filter so his response was “as long as you’re only fucking one person at the time and don’t break people’s hearts” 😂 I came out again at 25 as trans and his response this time was “you gotta live your life for yourself, even if I or anyone else is against it. You gotta be truthful to yourself” I love him 😭

I'm part of a small lgbt community at my sixth form, and occasionally we'll have a "gay club" meet up with this badass lesbian from the youth commission about tackling homophobia, transphobia, etc in the school. We discussed how an unexpected response can help make people casually using phobic language think harder about how the language they use might pertain to people around them. SO .... A dude in my class called someone a fa***t, and *my initial reaction was to turn around, make direct eye contact, and calmy say, "You called?"* Pure shock, fear, and confusion in his eyes.. That was how i came out to my class. To be fair, i havent heard that slur used by the guy again.

My parents knew I was sapphic before I told them I'm a lesbian, to which my dad replied "I don't think there's a guy out there good enough for you anyway"

Years ago I was at a nightclub with some friends, and one of my asshole friends outed me to a random girl at the club, and she thought I was mtf... I’m tall-ish and I was pre-everything, so that was kinda validating. This girl didn’t believe me when I clarified that I was ftm, which like....ok wtf? Why would I be lying?

one of my favorite things is if you're confident enough about it, no one will think you're not cis. i met one of my current best friends on discord, and she immediately just assumed i was a cis guy with a weirdly high pitch voice, and because she was so certain i was a cis guy, everyone else in the server was as well. i only had to justify the voice as "i was born with a weird hormonal thing" which technically isn't wrong. it got to the point i had plans to meet up with her irl and was in panic trying to get a binder immediately and not out myself, she came out as trans (mtf) to me right before the trip and it was the biggest form of relief i've ever felt

I’ve said the “thanks i picked it myself” on impulse once at work and it was real awkward

this is after i already came out, but one time i was visiting my mom and while we were eating dinner she randomly told me "just so you know, if you were born male we wouldn't have circumcized you"

So i came out to my parents as trans at the hospital after getting my appendix removed and being high af on two shots of morphine. I straight up turned to the nurse and asked her to call me my chosen name and “he” and then I fell asleep.

I also came out to avoid getting in trouble; my parents found straight porn in the browsing history on our family computer and accused me. I responded "It wasn't me. I would have deleted the history, and also I assumed you already knew that I'm gay." My mom had caught me with a boy when I was much younger so I didn't realize coming out to them was strictly necessary before that point.

A couple months before I came out to my dad, he came back from a work trip and gave me a bottle of really nice cologne that he got on the trip(I’m ftm btw). I still don’t know if it was on purpose or if he even knows the difference between cologne and perfume, but it was definitely an interesting coincidence either way.

random person: you're going to hell!!1!1! me: obviously, I got a kingdom to run works every time lmao

I came out to my older cousin by casually mentioning that I had a Partner, he was like "You know lying is a sin, right? Are you lying?" "No I'm gay" "Alrighty cool"

i have a tinder profile and guys regularly tell me why i would want to become a man if i am such a beautyful woman.... i am mtf...

It took less than two months after I came out for somebody to think I was a trans girl! I told this guy named Dave that I wasn't a girl and ten minutes later he goes "do you still want me to call you sis? I will if you want me to" and we had a very confusing conversation where I tried to explain what a transmasculine person is. Dave was really trying, bless his heart.

Before I knew for sure I was a guy, I decided to go by my current name and he/him pronouns for like a month as (almost exactly how I phrased it) an experiment to test my hypothesis of "maybe I am a man actually". The experiment's set end date was April 1st so I waited an extra day to formally announce that the results were "yes, I do Identify as a man". This is how I came out as trans, I made sure that the announcement of the beginning of the experiment and the results were publicly posted so that others would know what to call me, and yet somehow I still get people going "what??? but you don't _SEEM_ Autistic!!!" when I tell them I'm Autistic.

my mom figured out i was trans before i did... i showed signs of gender dysphoria since day 1 of puberty, but i was in denial up until freshman year of highschool. in 6th grade i started dressing more masculine, in 7th grade i'd wear 2-3 sports bras to look as flat as possible (dont do that btw), in 8th grade i buzzed off all my hair. at that point my mom said "you know, if you're trans you can tell me, i'll still support you," and i promised her i wasn't. then i came out to her a year later. not only did she connect the dots before i did, but she also accepted my identity before i did.

the way i hinted that i was trans to my brother was when we were making my dnd character sheet. we completed it then i whispered "im the only one who can see this right?" "yeah why" "...change the player name to Garrett" and i had to spell it to him with my parents being like, a room away from us

I also outed myself by saying "I picked it myself" lol. I was in my lab class and my partner had to write my name on something really small and I just said "sorry I should have picked a shorter one". She really didn't get it at first and she said "oh it's really interesting your parents let you pick your own name". Then she sort of figured it out lol.

I don't really have a FUNNY story but I was extremely nervous about coming out to my mom as bi and she was just like, aight cool get that girl honey I love you. So yeah it was pretty nice and now we both make lots of jokes about it

like ten years ago I got on the topic of gay marriage with my grandma (at the time it wasn't federally legal here in the US) and she just went into a full-on rant about how stupid it was for gay marriage to be illegal, paused for half a second and asked "are you gay?" then went right on back into her rant when I squeaked out a lil "yeah" to her question.

I didn't officially 'come out' at any one moment as asexual because it was already kind of obvious how clueless I've been about dating and related issues, but I just slowly over time introduced my parents to more memes and information about asexuality in casual conversations. It wasn't intentional either, just happened that way. Since, they started speculating about other family members that could be ace based on their lack of dating history or interest in the opposite OR the same sex (they thought the latter avenue was an explanation at first). My mom also suggested multiple times that I start some kind of diversity initiative for our church as well, and I think I might. We are already very open and accepting of all minorities, but they don't exactly make that very obvious, so it might still be hard for any minority person to realize they are welcome and not alone. I could do like, an awareness or informative thing, hold meetings, advise on sensitive issues, etc. Doesn't sound too bad! I'm very glad my parents are always so nice and supportive.

Came out as enby to my partner today, and somehow conversation went from him being confused and scared to us crying from happiness and deciding to move in together. I’m so happy now

These stories will definitely brighten your day.

Told my sister i was asexual she was like "oh yeah i know" Told her I was demigirl she was like "oh cool, what pronouns?" My sister is the most chill person on earth i love her like that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

When I told my mum I was non-binary and my pronouns are they/them she replied she gave birth to me and she'd call me what she liked. Sigh. She died a month later of cancer. Sigh again.

Here’s a story about how friggin’ dense I am: So my mom is Christian and she used to not be lgbt-favorable. I came out to her as asexual first because I thought she would just think that’s a normal thing. When I told her, she asked me, “Okay, what does that mean to you?” I was surprised, but I stuck to the same narrative in my head. Then, a while later, we were on a family trip for something and one morning at the motel I was really wanting to come out to her as non-binary, so I asked my sister about it and she was like, “Seriously? Mom was literally ranting last night about how terrible it was that that one RU-vidr was forced to out herself as trans.” (I DID hear that rant, btw; I was just literally such a dumbass that I couldn’t put two and two together) So then it finally clicked and I realized that I had been assuming things about my mom for some time, which was unfair to her. She’s really grown over the years and I’m so proud of her. But yeah, there’s my coming out story ig, lol

If ritalin made you gay it'd be called titalin actually I think /j/lh

man i didnt even get to come out at all, i just started changing my pronouns on my social medias and one of my best friends noticed it and messaged me, "oh u use they/them now?" then they just started using my pronouns and making sure everyone else in our friend group used the right pronouns for me HAHA it's nice not having to do the stressful job of coming out wh e e z e

ive always followed trans creators since ive been around on youtube and ive always cared a lot about trans issues even tho i apparently had no personal interest in doing that, and ive always cried to coming out videos and stuff and guess what, im most likely trans. i noticed when i cut my hair short lmao but anyway yeah, i just wanted to say that your videos bring me so much comfort now, it's insane ❤️ thank you for being amazing

I came out to one of my friends because of Stardew Valley 😆 We were discussing the game and I mentioned how I had wooed Abigail and we finally got married in the game. Then later on while we were watching some cartoons (Hilda, to be exact) she asked if that meant I liked girls or if she was just reading too far into it. I told her she was reading too far into it, but to be fair, she was still right 😸

Can someone send me that PowerPoint lol

"You smelled gay" LMFAO WHAT

I drank an entire pot of espresso (like maybe 8 shots) and then proceeded to messily present a speech with slide show I had written for the occasion.

DUDE THE POWERPOINT ONE! I literally emailed my mum a three page Google Doc when I came out to her

I remember asking to get baptized in a Southern Baptist Church (don't ask, I'm just freaky like that) and hitting a wall when the pastor, first off, thought I was gay, which I am, but then second off, when I told him I was trans, he assumed that meant MtF. I laughed and corrected him but I don't think he actually believed me. Up to that point it had never occurred to me that everyone in that church took it at face value that I was a guy, and I was kind of shocked, to be honest. (Though I probably shouldn't have been. There's no way they would have let me attend the men's weekly bible study if they didn't.)

I'm about 60% certain my parents didn't believe me when I came out as trans. I'm just gonna tell my friends to use my name and pronouns as *l o u d l y* as possible next time they're around my family and see how they react.

my dad was really cool about me saying im asexual but now i don’t have the heart to tell him that i realized i am not. there’s still an ace flag hanging in my old room

My little sister (amab) came out a few weeks before me. When I (afab) came out a few weeks later, my big sis told me, she thought the info material my little sis had printed out was from me for my coming out. All of the material was literally about the process of mtf... we had a good laugh. At lead I got reassured by her, since she told me that she had thought for years that I might be trans.

All of my coming out stories are mostly depressing, but i remember one that was wholesome. It was sixth or seventh grade, and one evening i was chatting online with my best friend. At that point our conversations were for the most part just complaining about life to each other, and so we did. I told him that i was feeling down for the longest time, and he asked me what was wrong. Accidentally, his words rhymed. So i picked that idea up and composed all my following texts with rhyme and rhythm, and so did he. The coming out was a success, fortunately, and i was left with a full-fledged poem :) By the by, im a trans guy

Yo I got a pro tip for anyone who's anxious and looking to come out: Text who you're coming out to, and put "I love you" at the very end. They won't wait to respond to the whole thing and just start by saying I love you back to you, then if they're going to say anything else say it later. Source: I've come out six times (I was confused on my gender and my parents are divorced, so I came out genderwise twice and sexuality once but double that because I did it seperately for the different sides of the family) and this trick worked every time especially since my dad's side is super religious.

These stories are so *chefs kiss* and the editing for this video is immaculate

Honestly, the one about the champagne is so wonderful. I wish it was as casual as “oh you’re trans? Cool, see ya later honey!” Like yeah, just make it chill.

Well I'm french and one day my dad was talking to me about his teenager experiences about love and I decided to tell him that I'm bi ( " Je suis bi " in french) but unfortunaly that sound a lot like "I undergo" ( "Je subis") so he was thinking I talked to him about a heartbreak and I was thinking he was sad but supportive of me being bi ??? It was really confusing lol

when I came out to my mom (as ftm and pan/bi) she was confused and I had to explain what both of those things mean, but def tripped over my words cause I was so stressed and emotional. well the first thing she bought me like a week later were boxershorts, so she did understand

Told my mom that I was lesbian at 16 and she literally exclaimed "Oh thank GOD!" Because she didn't want me to get knocked up at 16 like she did. She later said that she figured that I was because I said that I was gonna marry Mulan (1997 Disney one) at the age of five and I never talked about boys like I did about girls growing up

When I came out, I did it in the morning before school, so I could talk with my father about it and could skip school because of his questions:D

I recently met one of my moms old schoolmates and she asked for my name. When I told her she spent the next five minutes saying how cool of a name it was (for some reason, it's not like it's that uncommon). I really had to resist the "thank you, I picked it myself".

I once had a awkward convo with the police. Was about a list ID and such. I somehow ended up about my gender identity and said I was trans and one officer confused as heck asks me: oh, to a woman ? I was flattered af, pre Te and everything with my childlike appearance and voice, but then corrected them and they seemed disappointed or something lol... Cos I'm ftm, not mtf

I talked with my friend, and at some point she goes "If not for x, I'd be sure you're lesbian." I just smiled and went "We'll... you're not far from truth tho" and enjoyed her confused look just to then explain I'm actually bi.

I came out to my bff as bi a year ago via text when I was on a cruise trip while drunk in a bar. I also came out to two of my friends like half a year after by asking "Do you mind if I come out now? Oh cool ok, I think I'm bi," while we were on a car trip, and the topic we were talking about was fitting. I just had to spill the tea to my bff first 'cause, u know, and with rest of the people I'mma just wait for the right moment. Some people will probably know only when I might get to date a gal.

The 3DS streetpass outing them made me scream😭😂

I have absolutely responded to “That’s a cool name” with “thanks, I picked it myself” and the cis confusion is so real 😂 I sprung that on some poor cis girl who was checking out at 1 AM at the 24/7 gas station/mini grocery I worked at, and only felt slightly guilty for clearly cracking her perception of reality with no explanation XD

I accidentally came out to my friend on April fools day not even thinking about the date and he said “oh what was your name before, April? As in April fools” and all I could reply back with was “homie I straight up do not have a dick”

Last time I was this early I was in the closet

I came out to my best friend while on a roller coaster. He still teases me about it to this day. I also ended up coming out to my parents on the way home from college when quarantine began. My mother asked if I was trans and I got so stressed out I cracked and told her that yes, I was. My dad had a fun time when I came home and went "heeeeey... i have something to tell you," so.

I practiced in the mirror then in, when in the middle of telling my parents, I realized I wasn't ready to. Still came out. I'm glad I live in a VERY progressive family.

I came out to my mom (the day before my T appointment) by calling her up and telling her about a coworker that was being a petty POS and deadnaming me.

Dude I didn’t even come out to my mom I just sent her a link to a binder and said I wanted it and later she asked who wears that and I was like um... lesbians :)

"I have an OnlyFans now" THAT FUCKING CAUGHT ME OFF GAURD

The second coming out is how I constantly come out at work. Like I get "Oh that's a pretty/interesting/nice/good name!" And I go "Thanks I chose it myself." And they 👁️👄👁️

When j first came out to my mom we where in the car together, she was dropping me off but we got in to a deep convo about secrets. Decided to tell her " I don't know what I am but I'm probably not a girl also I think I like girls and guys but I'm not sure, you're actually dropping me off at an lgbt support center" her reaction was literally just "ok" then I left and we didn't talk about it for like a year. I thought it was because she was struggling with it, and when I had a girlfriend like three years later I got offended that she didn't ask any questions about her. I talked to her about like a year later and she said she just didn't want me to feel like she was pushing herself in to my life like my dad and her parents do.

Late to the party BUT: I came out to my mom in 2010 about being bi. My parents are very liberal people so I knew it wouldn't be a big deal, but my mom said "Okay." I was like uh..... yeah. Cool. Underwhelming response but I guess that's good. Fast forward to 2019. I was visiting my parents and the topic came up. They said "Oh, I didn't know you were bi." I said "Umm I told you like ten years ago??" and my mom said "No, I would've remembered that. I just remember you telling me your friend (fake name here) was bi." I have no idea if that friend is bi. This whole time, for almost TEN YEARS, my mom thought I outed a friend of mine instead of my own damn self. So I had to come out twice. KAHGKFDJH

etsy gay-scented candles

These made me laugh and made me feel so good about being outed by my dogs dog tag because his dumb ass ran out my apartment

My father invited me to have dinner with him and his new girlfriend. During the dinner, he kept asking me, if I had a boyfriend. I kept denying and he kept making comments about how I just want to keep it secret from him, because all girls my age have boyfriends... after a while of this, his gf chimed in by saying surely I'll find a nice boy eventually and I just replied: "Maybe... there's this cute girl in my class though, but I'm too scared to ask her out..." and before she could even respond my dad just stood up, food still on his plate, lit a ciggarette and left. He came back after 2 hours and didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. His gf just told me, that she's sure I'll find the right person someday. And that's how my homophobic father found out I'm not straight and I ruined his relationship with that woman. She seemed nice so I thought I should expose some of my fathers fatal flaws before she makes any mistakes... My father however kept bugging me about having a boyfriend, because he was in denail about me being a lesbian, in his eyes... and then last year, he had to stay at a hospital and asked me to come over... I told him I couldn't because I'd much rather spend time with Loki. At first he asked me if I was actually hanging out with a norse god... then he asked me, if he was my boyfriend, and I said no, because at the time we weren't dating yet. Later that week, after enduring more of his constand bullshit (sorry for the language), I finally brought up the courage to tell him something else, because I wanted to cut ties for a long time and he kept coming back to bother me... I texted him "Hey, you have two sons now." and he replied: "Loki, as my son in law?" and then I replied: "No. Do you even know what LGBTQ stands for?" he didn't and I explained it, finishing with "I'm two of those, the B and the T." He told me that that's rubbish and that I should stop lying to him. I told him to take me seriously and respect me, or to stop bothering me, because while he might be my biological father, he never was a father figure. He blocked me on... everything. He still hasn't come crawling back to me, and I'm just fine with that. Coming out to my mom was kinda funny too. Me: "Hey mom?" Her: "Yes?" Me: "There's this girl I like..." Her: "Okay." Me: "..." Her: "What did you expect me to say?" Me: "I dunno... I'm just... going to go back to my room then..." And when I came out as trans I just walked into the kitched and asked: "Hey, what would you do if I was a guy?"she replied "Nothing. Why would I do anything?" and I told her "Becase I think I might be trans..." she just said "Well that's not really any of my business. I just hope you figure something out." and I just said "Okay...", as I turned to leave. She refuses to use the correct pronous and name, but says she doesn't care. My brother wasn't very interesting but kinda funny. Our mom left us in the car in some random parking lot for a while and he asked me, if I thought he might be gay, because he was into this other guy and I turned to him and said "I don't know I never had a crush on a guy before" and he just lost his shit and screamed "I KNEW YOU WEREN'T STRAIGHT!" When I came out as trans he just told me he never actually thought of me as a girl and that it was kinda weird to hear that, but he kept trying to call me his brother, until we stopped talking, because everyone in my family hates each other for no discernable reason. Also, all of my friends thought I was already out when I came out as trans I was just left there, pretty damn flabbergasted... Sorry for the long comment and any eventual spelling or grammar mistakes, it's pretty late and english isn't my first language.

I came out on Facebook in 2015 and my family still believes it's a phase

This isn't funny so much as heartwarming. So, when I first started questioning my gender, i talked to my mother, and she did not understand. Very homophobic and transphobic, and i'm not sure how she'll handle it when i go on t, but i'll burn that bridge when i get to it. So a year or so goes by, and I text my step mother about it. I kind of hint around at it, unsure how to come out and explain it. I knew she'd likely be supportive, my older step brother is gay and she is so loving and supportive for him... So i say "well, i just never felt much like a woman. the idea of being a guy feels more right." and she answers straight away "yeah i know." So i'm just sitting there staring at my phone, looking like i'm trying to pull college-level calculus out of my ass. Turns out she had an aunt who was trans girl. This was like! 40 years ago!! so hearing about that, and how she understands it a little already was like an out of body experience. and then she drops another one on me. "why do you think i had your nieces call you (masculine version of birth name)?" I was like ???? it's shorter???? She said "no, i knew. a mother always knows." and i just cried. My mother, who raised me from birth, refuses to understand or respect my identity... but my Mom has apparently been waiting more than ten years for me to figure out what she already knew.

I remember when I came out to my mum as bi and her reaction was 2 things: 1. I know, you were very obvious. At 16 you wouldn't stop talking about how smart and attractive your new classmate was. 2. Just please give me grandkids Edit: A word

the bagel one got me

i just got in touch with my old friend, i don't use whatsapp that much so i ask her if she has twitter so i can dm her through there. she said, "oh sure, here's my @. but uh... don't mind me being.. queer." i was like ??? but didn't reply, she continued, "oh fuck it, i know you read boys love mangas. so hi i'm lesbian." i became even more confused because the reason she's open to me because i read bl? lmaoo. and of course i replied, "well i have good news for you, you're not alone. i'm bi." it's just funny to me that we didn't talk for years then suddenly come out to each other unprompted like that

I showed up to a holiday dinner with a woman and we were wearing matching engagement rings. I didn't start a conversation about it, and surprisingly nobody asked. It didn't get brought up at all the whole evening. My cousins were not surprised when I officially came out the better part of a year later, because they were observant and grew up with the internet. My mother and younger sister were completely blindsided. My brother just looked at me silently for a few seconds, before asking about my best friend in highschool who'd had sleepovers with me like three times a week. My older sister -- who had been showing up to family functions with her "roommate" for like four years -- said nothing and fist bumped me.

I RELATE TO THE STREET PASS BETRAYAL recently picked up my 3ds again, made an updated mii and street passed my sister in nintendogs r.i.p didn't think she still used hers anymore

I'm ftm and got mistaken for mtf too. When I started at a new job, I had been on T for a few months, but still had "female" in my ID. And because my chosen name is quite gender neutral too, everyone just thought I'm a woman. I was really scared to come out, but when I finally did tell a co-worker, he said, "Oh... So how long have you been living as woman?" I laugh at it now, but back then it was like a stab in each of my organs. 😅

I came out to my parents on New Year's Eve, so I guess I really put new year, new me into practice there.
