From people who came through it
“To 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.”
Paige Sm · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Hello from the other side of it. Two years ago, that was me. The worst part was a waiting list for the gender clinic. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Oanaz T · 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“Reading 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.”
