Help for LGBTQ+ and coming out in Japan
From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Bright Daisy · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Coming out is different for everyone. For me, my dad stopped talking. That hurt more than I expected. But some people surprised me. My brother let me in. A friend from class checked on me. The waiting list for the clinic is long, but I'm still here. If you're just starting, take it slow. You don't have to tell everyone at once. And if someone walks away, it says more about them than you. Keep the people who stay.”
Brief Orchard · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Coming 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.”
Rambling Dolphin · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“A note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was starting HRT. I've started painting again. From someone who gets it.”
