Well just go for it, say you have to tell him something and say I am transgender and I identify as ____ and tell him if he still feels the same.

You can show him pictures of you when you were little and tell him that you struggled through your childhood until you knew what your gender really is

Sit him down and tell him like he is a child that doesn't know anything. He will most likely have question so answer all of his questions to the best of your ability.

You just have to come out and tell him. It should feel un-judgmental if he truly loves/likes you. No matter what though, always feel comfortable with yourself.

Only you can truly answer this one. Sit him down in a safe, neutral location, in public Isle possible if you fear for your safety, and openly and honestly tell him. Answer his questions, and remember that it may come as quite shock. Remember that your safety is priority. If you feel it may be unsafe, perhaps a conversation over the phone would suffice.

Coming out to anyone in any form can be difficult, especially if it is to someone you care about and if you dont know how they will react. My recommendation is to sit them down and just have a very open, and frank talk with them about it, and make sure you have someone else on your side and supportive in case things go badly.

How to tell something important, something serious? We often ask ourselves about it. It concerns about any important subject - sexuality, identity, relations, again relations...:) What i can say, from my experience in work with clients - the main goal is to stay sincere and honest. First of all, to yourself - to look directly on your fears and tough thoughts about it, probably to work with psychologist about any concerns in relations. We start from relations with ourselves, and after we are searching for relations outside. Be well and happy :)

I think it has to be the right moment. Like no distractions or sharing this when both are busy. Be honest how you feel. And above all try and also be accepting to his reaction to your news. Affective communication is a must. Good luck

Best thing to do is sit him down and start to speak about how you feel about your situation, ask him to listen if not to reply at first, when you're comfortable be open and honestly say it, it's the best thing to do. Don't expect everyone to be as accepting at first, but if it's who you are then don't let anything, even a relationship from holding you back.

I would just tell them, explain to them how you feel about yourself and your reasoning and if they don't like that and don't want to be with you after that then don't make it that big of a deal. Sometimes you must love and accept yourself before you love and let others love you.
