Coming Out Letter to Brother-in-Law/Housemate

[thaddeusdagan]

I'm coming out as FtM to R, my husband's brother with whom we live, and I've written a letter for him to read and then talk to us about. I'd love some feedback on it before I give it to him. Here's some background for you who don't know it:

Also, in reply to your deleted comment: I'm not sure. I think I will put it behind a friends-lock once I give the letter to him. I tried to be as vague as possible in respect for his privacy while still giving enough info that others would understand the situation, and that's always a difficult line to walk. I have no idea whether I succeeded or, more importantly, whether he would think I succeeded.

As for Google searches, I waffle on that. Part of me is panicked at the thought, but I also know how much help reading about others' experiences was to me when I was first looking at this stuff without really admitting I was looking at it. And it would have been a big help to me if there'd been people out there talking about this who weren't already certain/in transition so I could have known I wasn't alone in the what-the-heck-am-i situation. So, if having my journal out there helps comfort one confused person who's just brave enough to type "transsexual" into Google . . . I don't know if that's egotistical of me or not, but that's why I haven't changed that setting.
