MensRoom Week 2: Coming Out

Saturday: Devin's experience with coming out.
(I'm not sure what's up w/ the audio but I can't seem to fix it..lol)

Questions: How did you go about coming out to your family and friends? What were their reactions? Have you had to come out as transgender in an academic setting? If so, what were your experiences like? Do you have any advice for coming out?

Hey, Devin, my man! In my heart, u're one of my adopted FTM **SONS**. Being transgender is really a fairly straightforward concept, so it amazes me how/why people don't get it! As I've said b4, if only I could afford to, I'd adopt ya in heartbeat, kid-o! I've got ur back, young fella! Much love always...

[SirDevinaire]

thanks :)

peace

awesome video, dude! inspirational =)

[SirDevinaire]

thanks :)

i just had a shot today so im hoping it does something within the week idk...but im praying over the few whiskers on my upper lip..lol..lets wish for a mustache by month 4..hahaha

[SirDevinaire]

that's a great idea. they don't really get it until they see the proof. then there is no way that they can mentally block it out..the only option is to deal with it. best of luck w/ ur family, and congrats on top surgery for whenever you get it.

peace :)

[SirDevinaire]

:) haha..im still surprised as well. but it cracks like a bitch...im glad that the videos dont capture that often..lol

I know exactly what you mean about them thinking it's some kind of "distant reality." I've decided I'm not going to say a word to any family about my top surgery until after it's over.
