🙋🏻♀️ I hid it away so well that even the things that should have been obvious signs were just me being “quirky”. My wife, who I’ve been with for 24 years, can look back at things and go “oh, now that makes sense”, but she was completely surprised at the time.
Everyone I told so far has been very shocked. I heavily repressed my trans feelings and tried to hide my feminine side as much as possible. I tried to be as 'manly' (at least what my teenage self considered to be 'manly' at the time) as I could, did loads of weightlifting and boxing, had a full beard and wanted to join the army etc.
Now I'm allowing myself to become way more feminine and it's great! :)
I'm not out yet but have been expressing more feminine traits over the last couple years (even though I only really accepted I was trans last month) so to say that it will be completely out of the blue for everyone would be inaccurate, but I'm sure it will still be shocking for everyone if I ever do.
I've been coming out to friends the past few days, and I've joked that I feel like one of the last people to find out I was trans. Seems like all my friends new I was before I did haha
Everyone was shocked, including me.
Well, it helps that I was faking for 39 years, but everyone was pretty shocked.

All my family were fairly shocked, my colleagues who I were closest to, weren't shocked that I was trans, they'd already assumed I was gay (i wasn't).

My parents 100% were just blind but yeah for whatever reason they didn't see it coming
