So for those of us who have come out as trans what was it like? Do you regret it? How did everyone react/treat you after.

No I don't regret it. It didn't feel like a choice, it felt like something I had to do.
I lost nearly all of the friends I had at the time, but I moved to a new town and got work pretty easily. People respect me at my job, but my social life is void for the most part. I've learned to accept it. I still struggle with being objectified by people who perceive trannies as swiss army sex toys, but I've also accepted that I'm probably foreveralone.jpg too, and that's alright.

I don't regret coming out. I think I should not have scaled back my plans, though. I was stressed the entire time, ready to leave home if things went badly. But apparently it was for no reason. Afterwards, I was left with the feeling that I should have come out so, so many years ago and the regret and heartbreak of not having done so.

There was a lot of shitty aftermath that came with it, but I can't say I regret it.
My 2 friends at the time were fine with it, and even suspected it before I told them formally. But my parents had a meltdown over it.
It's been years since I've come out, and to this day they still give me shit about it. But, from it, I suppose I've learned how to be true to myself, despite what those close to me think...

I came out about a year and a half ago. I was fucking terrified. I was afraid I'd never pass. Afraid that my family would be disgusted by me. Fast forward 1.5 years.
I have a cis boyfriend. My immediate and extended family were surprised but supportive. My parents have paid for my FFS and VFS, and are going to pay for SRS as well. My mom is proud to call me her daughter. I lost zero friends, aside from a couple alt-right autists that I was kind of casual friends with. I have a great job. Life is good.
Coming out as trans is almost always a shit show, but sometimes it isn't.
