This is the story of how I came out to my fam aka friends.

When I was younger I always liked using male names such as Christopher or Max. It was a,nice day out and I was with my friends. We were all sitting down when my friend (We'll call her Sam as in a guys name Sam) had said, "If I was a guy, I'd be called Sam or Tyler. What about you guys?" Thats when my friend (Let's call her Toby) Toby said, "I'd prefer Toby or Jayden. Karisma?" I looked up after texting my boyfriend. "Oh um...Kris. I like that name." I said with a smile. They nodded. "Speaking of which, Im Gender fluid." Ty stated bluntly. Toby quickly spoke up. "Me too!" I looked around confused. After explaining what it was I nodded. "Well then I probably am too."

After a month or so I was getting pizza with my aunt and uncle. After my aunt went to go get more pizza I looked at my uncle. "I-um...Im gender fluid." I said shyly. He shrugged with a nodded.

That was the hardest part...so far.

Shortly after I realized I might want to rethink things. Was I trans? Am I over thinking this? I talked to my friends who reassured me by telling me they'd accept me for who I am. I noticed more and more I wanted my friends to call me by male pronouns. Not she. Not they. Just, he. Just Chris. This is who I am. I am Chris A. And nothing will ever change that. If anyone has advice for me to comeout for next friday that would be AMAZING. Love you all,

Christopher
