Is there a good time to tell people I'm transgender?

The best time to tell people that you are transgendered before a transition is when you have your life in order. You know, just be ready. I would hope for the best but expect the worst. So, if you're two months behind on your rent, and you don't have a job, and your car is broken down and...you know...etc., etc., etc., and your life is not together, that might not be the best time to share something that could evaporate your whole support network. But, you know, just...just think about it. Get your life in order and then you'll be more prepared to challenge your loved ones' perception of you. After you've transitioned, if, for some reason, you feel like you need to reveal to your friends...or associates...your family's always going to know...but, if you want to tell your friends or associates, pick your moments and be aware that they are probably going to treat you differently from then on. If they've accepted you in your chosen gender and you reveal that you've transitioned, all those prejudices are going to come into play. Sometimes it feels better to be out even despite that because you don't have to worry anymore. Some people just choose to stay under cover--stay stealth--because it's more comfortable.
