Try to find a private place - time and prepare him that you wanna talk about smth very sensitive . Just stay focused on what u wanna say, don't feel bad and stay true to urself. If he loves you he will be understanding. Be prepared for both good/bad reaction. Good luck.

Slowly broach the subject of it with him. Bring up hypothetical or other examples of maybe friends of yours being transgender, and see his reaction, or try to get his opinions on transgender people without raising suspicion. If you feel he is the type to respond amicably, I suggest going ahead!

That's not an easy question. If you are very close with your bf (which I suppose you are) he probably accepts you as you are. You have to tell him that you're trans in a moment where you feel secure - and you know best when that time is

You two should sit in a peaceful place, where there's no cellphones on, or anything. It might be hard, but tell them you feel like this and why you feel like this. Justifying what you feel like might help a lot for the other to understand what you're going through. They might not understand at first, so help them with facts of being a transgender and most importantly, give them time to think about it and digest what you've just told them. If they need it, give them space as well. They will understand.

I would not tell him all at once. Maybe give hints throughout your times together. But do not keep this information away from your boyfriend for a long time. They might think that you do not trust them.

An idea could be to slowly bridge the topic of transgender people and attempt to gauge his reaction on it. If he looks to be responding positively then it's best to tell him in an environment you would feel most comfortable in also.

You should start by telling him you have something important to tell him and advising him to seat down. If he likes you for who you are, he will accept and support you.

Tell them about how you trust them to share this very personal subject matter and that you are worried about their reaction. Explain that it's nothing bad, but that you want to be honest and true to yourself. After saying the two words, "I'm transgender". Explain what that means for you and ask how they feel. Listen. Communication is key.

That is a difficult question and really depends on the type of relationship you have together. If you see a future with him, then you owe it to yourself to open up fully and approach the subject with him. Similarly, if you want to transition, you need to tell him. If he chose to leave, it is better that it happens sooner rather than mid transition when your body and mind is drastically changing.
However, having said this, if this boyfriend isn't extremely serious, you don't see it progressing AND you wouldn't transition for the time being, why risk something short term that you're enjoying in the now.
Overall, telling him would be the best course of action. Yet, if you are not ready then it's not the right time. You need to be confident and in love with yourself before opening up about something so significant and important.

Sit him down and explain how you feel. Be open and honest about it. Understand that it may change the relationship and he may need time to process.
