Guys...how did you "out" yourself?

[RallyCola]

it's simple. for those of you who's significant other, family or friends know that you like transwomen, how did you tell them?

[Willie Escalade]

I haven't...and amazingly no one has asked about that picture of Yasmin Lee and me...or how I seem to always get the answers correct on those Maury shows...

I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I want my family/friends to see them as ladies first.

I moved out of my parent's place at age 19 and left my computer behind so they had something to use. I thought I had deleted most of my personal files, but they happened upon a porn stash I had forgotten about. In retrospect, I probably should have formatted that thing, but whatever. I don't know what they saw, but I can only guess it was a good mix of lesbian, GG porn, and some TS stuff. When they approached me about it, right out of they gate they just assumed I was gay, so that was a really awkward conversation. At that point in my life, I didn't really think I was bisexual so I defended my heterosexuality. I'm pretty sure they both still think I'm gay, but I couldn't care any less.

I've told all of my exes at one point or another. Most of the time I've gotten a resounding "eww" in reply, but I've never been dumped. All the girls I've been with in relationships know I'm a very staunchly monogamous man so running off and cheating on them with a transchick isn't a worry. The woman I've been dating for the last four years has a fetish for transsexuals. She doesn't understand how to conduct herself around 'em, though. There's been many times we've talked about it and she'll use the incorrect pronouns, inadvertently insult, or just ask really stupid questions. Same stuff any guy is prone to before being introduced to the community.

Had some mates that went to Thailand and one of them sneaked off slept with a translady but got caught out as she was friends with pro who was having fun with another mate, anyway when they came back they were all going on about it and telling me about it and I said personally don't see the issue and from there was the start of everyone knowing about my tastes have since dated a few Trans ladies and have always been up front about it with friends and family, personally I do not care what others think, Trans are people like the rest of us and should not have to face all the bs out there from the ignorant.

My dad found some of my pictures....Eventually he approached me about it asking if I was gay. I told him no,and that they're girls,he was confused but as I explained it to him and showed him info on it, he came to see things in a different light. He always told me to treat people the way they want to be treated...I have never wavered from that. It is probably the only good thing he ever taught me..

I have never outed myself as I have never been in.

Those closest to me know who I am, dedicated to pushing the envelope and never living half way. You cannot sort of jump out of the plane.

My best friend knows, my brother knows and although my uncle (who is my boss, father confesser and best friend) does not know, he does know I run a freaky underground club that caters to crazy shit. I saw my first porno at his crib on 3/4 inch (Behind the Green Door) and I have seen he has a couple of trans flicks in his collection.

When my brother's girl found out she freaked a little and asked did he know, he just shrugged and said "Ed be into a lot of freaky shit, that's really nothing".

Confidence is attractive brothers.

That was a very good lesson that he taught you and that you taught him too
