Well in these kinds of conversations, having good communication often helps. For me, I'd prefer even writing it in a letter to better express myself

It's best to have a sit down chat and work your way up to that topic. If he is someone you want in your life, he should understand. Much love and good luck :)

It is important to remember that your identity is valid no matter his response, but the best way to tell him is to sit down and have an honest, open conversation where you can both share your feelings on the matter, as opposed to making rash decisions based on miscommunication. I hope I could help!

Have a heart to heart. He is your boyfriend after all and should be understanding. Tell him that it doesn't change how you feel towards him, but you trust him enough to let him know

Just find a quite (I don't know how to say this in English sorry) minute and sit down with him. Tell him you need to talk with him and explain your situation and your feeling to him. He might react very good, he might be a little bit confused but I'm sure he'll support you anyways!

I would start off with a slow, easing way into it. If you come out to yourself first, that always helps.
BEFORE you start a relationship, if you know you are transgender you should always tell them that. Just like you would tell them about some kind of personal trauma where you don't want the doing a certain thing; you should mention that you're transgender.
If you are already in a relationship by the time that you come out to yourself, you should always analyze to see if it is safe for you to come out to him/her. Then, if it is safe, you ease your way into it. Start conversations like "What would you do if I was a boy/girl" or "How would you react if I was transgender?" or try to find news articles about transgendered topics and start conversations about it.
In the end, there really should be no fear. Gender should not be a dividing factor between two people in love. If your boy/girlfriend truly does love you for who you are, they won't care for something as small as your gender.

This is a tough one but one that must be handled nonetheless. If telling him that you are transgender results in a breakup then it would have ended soon anyways. Not telling someone that you are in a relationship with that you are transgender is not fair to either party. Having the boyfriend find out by accident or from friends is never good and could end up very bad if tempers flair. There is no excuse for violence but it is a real possibility. The easiest answer is get out ahead of this, get all the cards on the table and deal with whatever the outcome may be.

Well, there's no need to be afraid because when a human being loves you, it's because of your personality and not your face. But I definitely understand if peoples feel insecure about it. So, if I were to be a transgender, I would want to make sure that my boyfriend is open towards the LGBTQ+ community. If not, then I'd introduce him to it and slowly get him interested and lets him accept it in a whole. After that, I would slowly reveal myself to him by telling him about my past and that I'm not born into the world like that. But if I were to be safer, I would've told him the moment he confessed to me that he likes me just to prevent any conflicts.

Personality, I told my boyfriend I was transgender when I truly knew he loved and trusted me, my relationship worked out but I suggest asking him about it seeing his opinion on the matter, he might dislike them maybe not tell him or do, it depends on the guy your dating. My relationship worked out for the most part, I first asked him his thoughts, then deduced that he's fine with transgenders, hint at it for a week or so then tell him, the out come is different for every man but it just really depends, you do you though if he doesn't like that about you then he's probably a bad boyfriend.
