Hi Riley,

I think it would depend on where you are at with transition. If you have not started to take hormones or undergone any physical changes, then it may not be obvious to others that you are FTM (on an outward level). In that case, you would have to just directly tell them if you wanted to come out to them. It's hard to bring up the subject, but once you talk about it, it gets easier.

If you have started to transition, it may be obvious to others and they might get some idea that they are FTM. It *may* be easier to bring it up, that would have to depend on the circumstances.

Not everyone will be accepting, but in that case, it is important to remember that those people are people you don't need in your life. Since you're going to college (USA, I'm assuming) there will be bound to be a diverse community. There might be some LGBT groups you could look into.

Good luck.
(Also, since I'm not trans myself, there might be some inaccuracies relating to my answer regarding the first paragraph so apologies for that.)

I would definitely suggest joining an LGBT club if there is one. If your friends know that you are part of that, it might make it easier to bring up the subject of Transsexualism.
