    Keep in mind that I go to an all-girls high school.

    I have recently been questioning my gender and I have found that I'm nonbinary, leaning more toward transmasculine. I want to come out to my friends, but I have no idea how. I've been wearing a little nonbinary flag rubber bracelet, and I changed my phone lockscreen--which they have seen multiple times. I have been flattening my chest with a sports bra and a tight tank top every day, and also showing an interest in getting my hair cut short, yet they don't suspect a thing. And is it weird that I kind of...want them to...? Just so I don't have to say anything to them.

    I want to come out to them. But whenever I open my mouth to do it, I just get choked up and I can't. I know they'll be supportive--well, I know at least one of them will--but I just don't know how to come out. Help?

    It's not strange. But unless you say it aloud, they won't know.

    Try more casual. When I changed my hairstyle and clothes, some people asked me why the change. And I said to reflect the change of my name. And the discussion started and I said that I prefer my male name etc.
