I decided to come out to my friend through email and I am freaking out a little.

I never really came out a lot to a lot of people yet so I am not sure if the response my third friend I sent it too was a good response because I know she got the message but and read it but she never really commented on how she feels about me coming out. I am wondering if I should be concern about this because all the other time I came out to other people I got a response about how they felted but she didn't really comment on how she felt. Any thoughts on the situation?
I think in this situation it might be best to just straight up ask her how she feels about it. There's a couple possible reasons why she didn't comment on hoe she felt about it, but only she knows the real reason. And make sure not to just to the worst possible outcome, maybe she didn't see it as a big deal and still saw you for you, or maybe she was busy and rushed her response and forgot to put how she felt in it, but whatever the reason I'm sure it won't be bad. Just ask her how she feels about it, and then you'll know. <3

@HERE.AND.QUEER. Okay she responded earlier and said she didn't respond because she thought I expected something heartfelt something that she wasn't very good at and said she accepted my identity.
So proud of you! And if you don't mind me asking, is this one of the friends who introduced you to the queer community? I wish you the best of luck! <3
@NoName(All Pronouns) So glad you decided how you're going to come out to them! You'll have to let me know how it goes! <3

@HERE.AND.QUEER. I sent a email to three people and two of them responded to me so far.
Here was the first response.
Congratulations (if that is appropriate)(my name) Thank you for telling me, and I will not tell anyone else. I am glad I am considered a close enough friend for that. I understand the eventual application of a potential new name, and your (maybe) pronouns of they/them.
And I got a second response too from a different person. In the second response he came out to me as a tran masc.
You’re all good, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone until you’re ready.
I don’t have much to say, but I fully support you and understand your feelings.
On this subject, would you mind using the name (new masculine name) and he/him pronouns when referring to me? I do identify as trans masc, and that would ease the dysphoria a bit.
Shoot an email out if you just need to vent, need resources or whatever. I’m happy to support you.
Honestly the second response is both the best and most unexpected response you can get when you come out.
