From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Starting HRT, every single day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.โ€

    Woo-jin F ยท been through lgbtq+ and coming out
  • โ€œComing out is scary and messy. Not everyone will react well, but some will surprise you. Your journey is yours, and you don't owe anyone an explanation. Take your time. And find at least one person who sees you for who you are. They're out there.โ€

    Rambling Dolphin ยท been through lgbtq+ and coming out
  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. Came out to my parents at Christmas, every single day. I got a new job this spring. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ€

    Paige Sm ยท been through lgbtq+ and coming out
  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A name change on all the forms, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You're not on your own.โ€
