In the Car

Someone wrote…

I’m super excited because I just came out to a friend as genderqueer. Beyond saying it aloud in the car all to myself it is the first time I have said it.

The friend I came out to is awesome. She sometimes dresses up like a dude (for cosplay not crossdressing) and wears any clothes she pleases, no matter who they are marketed to. So she really is THE ideal person to tell.

I feel so good. I didn’t get to talk to her about gender much because there wasn’t much time alone, but I now have someone to TALK to. To get this out of my head and sort through it. This makes it much less scary and much more real.

I AM SO GLAD I’M OUT TO MY FRIEND!!!

What’s your experience?

And what are you thinking about gender right now?
