All of my friends are conservative - and I'm stealth

Update:

I'm noticing that there's two different groups of people here. 1/2 of you completely understand and are even living a similar life to me, and the other 1/2 of you think it is downright awful and atrocious and even claiming that it's people like us that are the source of our disrupted politics. I'd like to make it clear that I find this extremely interesting. I can almost guarantee that some of the guys experiencing this life like me, are like me. Privileged, passing, choosing to be stealth, and going about our business. If you believe inherently that being stealth and going with the flow of things is a bad thing for trans folks, you're not gonna like this post at all. I think it's normal. It's normal for me. This is my normal life.

Yeah, you read that right. All my best buddies and acquaintances and people i look up to and people I hang out with... are all conservative. And I'm stealth.

It's weird because I forget I'm trans. We don't talk politics - I think they get the vibe I'm "a touch" more liberal than them, so the conversation is usually avoided.

We all get along great. Same interests, same activities. I'm a country guy so I'm usually fucking around with some weapons of sort, something wjth an engine. I look like I voted for Trump (I did not). I'm authentically myself, except for that one major part of me that nobody knows.

I can't even get the words out of my mouth when I'm alone. "I'm transgender" are words I can't utter. I'm sure there's some deep internalized transphobia there, but I'm not seeing it. I don't think there's anything wrong with me, and me being trans is not a bad thing. It just makes me different, but I don't want people to know.

Which led to all my new found people not knowing, and I learn about their political beliefs and ideas about people like me and my heart sinks further into my chest and I still can't utter the words. Because I value them so much, and it's so hard to change the way people see me. I have a ton of fun with them. Shit, even the girl I like voted for trump. I'm in a pickle (she knows I'm trans, dw)

I did this to myself, but still can't bring myself to tell the guys I'm trans. I'm a young adult, 19, and these guys all range from my age to close to 40. Mentors, friends, acquaintances. Just the guys. And the guys all don't know I'm trans. And they're conservative.

How would guys like you all navigate this stickiness? On one hand, I finally found a group of guys that I actually get along with and agree with almost everything on... except for their tolerance of LGBT. On the other hand, if they found out, they probably wouldn't want to be friends anymore, or they'd make it weird. I don't want to make it weird, I like it how it is now, which is normal.
