How do I tell my boyfriend that I'm transgender?

First of all take a deep breath, you can do this. Remember that you get to choose when, were, and if you wish to tell them. No matter what your partners reaction is, you should be incredibly proud of yourself. Personally when I came out as Bi (not the same thing but still a coming out), I just literally came out at random times to random people. All that mattered was that I felt comfortable with the situation. Do what you need to do and take care of your self, and if you need more help and guidance please talk to a listener, we are here to help. :)

You need to be yourself. It is really scary to come out to anyone, especially a romantic partner, but you need to trust him and just have a sit down chat to tell him how you are feeling. Maybe don't necessarily start with "I'm transgender" and say something more along the lines of "I've realized that these pronouns make me uncomfortable."

Just tell him. If you trust him and he loves and respects you for who you are, he will understand.

Hallo, so you want to find the right way to tell your boyfriend you are transgender and you are scared that he might not like it. That's a tough task you have but it's important to share our world with the loved ones. Maybe you could try before to write it down and read it once or twice, so it becomes a bit easier to talk to him about the way you were born.

You could explain to them how you feel exactly and why you are transgender. You should tell them how the relationship should go, either they would want to end things or keep things going.

I'm so proud of you for being able to work this out, I know how hard it can be. It is going to be really scary, but if he really loves you, he'll love you no matter what. I think the best thing to do is find a good moment where you're both together and just come right out with it. It's going to be really hard, but no matter how he reacts, we love you.

You should tell him whenever YOU feel comfortable. Just explain to him as honestly and completely as you can trust that whatever response you receive you did the right thing. And as long as you can find happiness in yourself you don't need anyone else's approval of who you are.

Just be honest and try to be as open and direct as possible. If he loves you for who you are, it shouldn't be any problem that you are transgender.

I think it's different for each relationship, but if you and your boyfriend have a very blunt, straightforward relationship, then you should just sit him down, ask for understanding and open-mindedness, and tell him. If he loves you for your heart and soul, I'm sure he'll understand. If he ditches you, then you know he wasn't the one.

Maybe you should be honest and ask to talk to him and just be completely open about it. Trust him and explain to him how you feel. Just be honest
