#NationalComingOutDay

Persevere and refuse to go back in the closet if you get treated poorly.

At 13, I tried to come out as trans (although I didn't quite have the words) and was laughed at by my mother and brother, and subjected to "corrective" abuse for years.

I was all alone so I couldn't fight back.

Unlike you, I didn't have a community I could draw strength from.

But you do.

We can all get through this together x

I saw someone mention #nationalcomingoutday so I wish to remind everyone I'm some kinda queer oscilloscope fae

(technically a non-binary person, my pronouns are they/them, and yeah I have a lot of oscilloscopes.)

Happy #NationalComingOutDay to all closeted folk especially #Queer #Caturday

I'm a threat to national security

I love and share intimacy with people regardless of their sex or gender, and I am a transsexual woman, and I have always known.

I began coming out to people in 2006 when I was 18 years old.

9 years ago, Joseph Stalin came back from the dead and personally came to my house to congratulate me for being gay.

I have been gangstalked by a psychopathic PDX polycule who tried to ruin my life for not wanting to date them.
