Should I come out to my friends?
I am a trans dude who is in middle school. I am out to 6 of my friends but I want to come out to my whole class. One person I’m scared to come out to is my best friend. He is generally nice and always ask if something he said was offensive or not but he has said some transphobic things in the past but I think that’s just because he’s a middle school boy. I really don’t want to lose him as a friend or for him to out me to my family. Context: He comes over almost everyday and my whole family thinks he’s amazing
@RUMBUM Personally, if you are close, Id recommend telling him, but if you don't want others to know, you need to make sure he can keep something like that. I made that mistake in 8th grade and half of the grade knows I'm trans. I am lucky to go to a school that doesn't let parents know when they hear this stuff, but that might not be the same for you. just please be careful because it is a scary world to be trans in.
