I tested the waters by telling them I was bisexual and when that didn’t go over well and didn’t show any sign of improving, I just cut them out of my life.

With my friend, though, my found family, I told him I was bi and he cared so little (I think that he said, ‘oh, okay’ and moved back to making dinner) that it really threw me off. I was expecting like… a whole thing. So when I decided to transition, I was determined to surprise him. I just didn’t say anything until I moved far enough into my transition to feel like I had some results, then I visited without telling him. He straight up didn’t recognize me, haha.
