When Geri comes out AGAIN! Geri comes out to her co-workers, family and friends and the reaction was not what the Kramers were expecting.
Below is Geri’s “coming out” letter we sent to our close friends and family. We offer it to any of you who wants to customize it and use it for your own. We hope you find it helpful.
Hello
This is a big news letter from The Kramers. Have a seat. First off – Sarah and I are fine. 🙂This is difficult for me to write but I wanted to share something that’s going on in my life, because I love and trust you, and I know you love me.
I am writing to let you know that I am a transgender person. I’ve known for a very long time and I’ve struggled for many years with my gender. With the help of Sarah and my therapist – I have come to terms with my place on the gender spectrum.
I am now transitioning.
I know this may seem shocking and that this may feel like it is coming from out of nowhere but I want you to know that I am ok. In fact I have never been better. 🙂
This is my coming out letter.
In the very near future I will be coming out to the world and living my life as female. I am still the same person that you have always known and loved. I’ll just be living more authentically as the true me.
As of right now I will be going by the name Geri and my pronouns will be changing to she/her.
I know you may have slip-ups with my gender at first, and that is ok. If you do slip up – you do not have to make a big deal out of it. Just correcting yourself is enough for me to see that you care about and respect who I am.
My transition is not going to happen over night and some aspects may seem fast and some may seem slow. I ask for your patience and support during this time.
I have included a few important links below for you to read. I would appreciate if you read these before you asked us questions.

TIPS FOR ALLIES OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE
If you feel like not responding right away, that’s ok. Take as much time as you need. I understand that this is a lot to process.
Sarah and I love you very much and we are happy to answer questions or talk about my transition. But please know that some questions may be too personal – so we will let you know when a question is over the line.
Lots of love,
xoxo
