i think most of the time, trans ppl when coming out in school worry a bit too much, i would know lmao, but a good tip for any other trans people right now who are in school is that you really dont have to worry about what people who arent ur friends think about it, and it might apply to some friends too, but the point is they really dont care that much about it, its quite a difficult thing to hear at first, but as you start to realise the true situation, it becomes a comfort, think about it. if someone you barely knew came out, you would be happy for them and support them and stuff, but it wouldnt affect ur life whatsoever, or anything yk? so use this and apply it to your own life, im soon coming out to my school and this factor is a motivator for me, like the only ppl who will care is ppl who actually hang out w me yk, well this is the case in the uk and i think it would apply to most countries where lgbt is supported, so dont worry, be urself. Oh and another thing to remember when coming out as trans to ur school, allot of people that you see you will never ever see again when u leave school, everyone branches off to different areas of work, or different companies, and this means even if someone doesnt support you for it and maybe even directs some transphobia to you, it wont matter soon, because you will be paving a new path for YOUR life, so live YOUR life how YOU want to and dont let strangers tell you what to do with your life, and i hope everything goes well for you, and uh, wish me luck too lol, ig ill keep this comment updated because it might help someone out lol

I actually came out to my best friend only. and it was like:
Her: are you 4%?
Me: huh?
Her: are u 4%?
Me: i have 52% on the phone
Her: no, i didn't mean it like that
Me: well. i have 32%on tablet and 23% on the watches
Her: noooo. i didn't mean it like that.
Me: what then?
Her: you don't know?
Me: no.
Her: i mean, are you gay?
Me: why
Her: yes or no?
Me: why
Her: i just want to know, but as i see, you want a reason and it takes you a long time, so i guess, you are
Me: well. i'm gay
Her: i thought it
Me: why did u ask?
Her: you wanted to become the tram driver in the public transport company, and there are many gay people
Now we are talking normally about that, but she is still only person who knows it. i come out only if someone asks me about it.
Actually, she asked me that in the worst moment and i was stressed as hell xd

I sadly dont think i can do that but i like the closet yet i am planning on coming out with hints just before i moved out so i dont deal with them anymore as they arent a good family my brother who is only two years older is the only one who is remotely nice to me! And i love him for it and i feel like we are in the same boat just different genders! But i dont think hes realised it at all.
But yeah Ive come out before and everyone ignored my requests yet like 5 months later i tell them to use my pronouns they say it takes time when they havent even put an effort to do so: (
But long story short im not coming out till i move out and then i can be me im also gonna cut contact with everyone but said brother as he hasnt done much wrong!

As someone thats 40, gay and about to come out to family, I can safely tell u its better to come out when ur younger than when ur older. I have a daughter Ive been raising since shes was 1. Great kid. Id say smarter and happier than 99% of the kid population. But now I have to break the news to her and not sure how thats gonna go. As a side note, Im def not LGBTQ, in G and feel part of the lgb community. Not the TQ. Sorry just dont relate to them.

23 yr old single mom, all I hear is, my daughter needs a father which is something she never had. so. it's scary to come out, then I feel I wont be accepted amongst the other parents in the toddler groups or just accepted as a mom to whoever I may like.

I hate it when we literally have to come out to everyone
It doesnt end with your family and your close friends
It continues to: your co-workers, classmates, neighbours, etc
And sometimes during casual conversations with random people

I told my best friend this morning by text. And I wanted to tell my other best friend but I couldn't text her so I was going to tell her in person. So Evie (the one who I messaged) told my other friend for my because I was too scared

If you really think about it, the whole 'coming out' thing makes sense, but it still seems a little weird. No one goes to their parents and says I'm straight! So why do we need to feel like we have to come out to our parents?

Thanks for letting me know that I can procrastinate coming out. October eleventh will be my deadline. If I feel good about it, then maybe tomorrow! Thank you for these tips, as a lgtbtq-stuck-in-the-closet, this has really helped me.

I have been in the closet all my life, and I am claustrophobic. I have decided, wearing the mask of a straight man isn't the best thing for me any more. The mask is coming off.

Luckily, my parents seem to like LBGT. I also have 4 friends that I know they are part of the LBGT but only 2 friends know that I am. I haven't come out to anyone else.

My mother would ask if I was gay at least once a year, sadly she passed on before I came out. Only my sister knows right now and I'm nervous about telling everyone else.

I'm coming out to my parents as aro ace, and I'm an anxious person so it's easy for me to get wrapped up in what ifs, but I hope to be able to do it soon.

It is okay if I decide not to tell most people just because i dont feel like its necessary? Im not afraid, its just like WHY am i supposed to do it?
