    i'm out as trans at my school. usually the case is the people who knew me as female don't care or don't like to talk about it, or the people who didn't know me before don't know unless i tell them (which i never do anyway :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    I'm a junior and I'm out to two of my friends. They've agreed not to spread it.

    I came out to my friends in middle school - maybe 7th or 8th grade? I never specifically told everyone - just certain people and most just assumed.

    In high school, I befriended this crazy girl who ended up trying to assault me one day In the locker area. Her yelling "fag" didn't really hide the fact...

    Anyways, if I could go back, I'd probably change it. I didn't really learn anything by being out. I'm not saying that you need to stay in the closet, but if anyone is going to come out early - don't be half assed about it.

    I wasn't even aware of either of my identities in high school, so no.

    It really sucks in retrospect considering, when I transferred schools my soph year, I had gone on to make an lgbt friend. I probably wouldn't be going through the shit I am now, had I known something back then.

    After high school(and still before I was aware of anything), we drifted unfortunately, and I haven't seen him since...
