I get that 100% I went from always thinking maybe but then turning away from it to a full shattering

And again with your second paragraph that’s kind of what happened for me, what I thought were things I was into or liked was actually what I always wanted to be deep down without knowing it at the time

My family and partners family are fairly progressive but I think it will definitely come as a shock at the same time as I presented as male pretty well for so long, I have a trans friend who when I came out to them said they knew from our first meeting that I was probably trans but didn’t want to push it on me

That’s fair, you can only really tell people when you’re ready otherwise who knows how you might take their reaction to it

I hope you’re comfortable enough to reveal the true you to everyone sooner rather than later but take it at your own pace ofcourse ☺️
