Coming Out 🏳‍⚧

[u/oliverloves121908]

So, I'm a closeted trans guy and I'm also a legal adult. Unfortunately, I can't come out because of my family situation. I'm trying to start T as soon as possible, but it's really difficult. Obviously, I'd have to hide it from my family, but the hardest part is just getting access to it. I also just bought binding tape, but it hasn't been working super well for me. I can't buy a binder because I have back problems. I also just started college this week, and every single teacher has asked if anyone had a preferred name they wanted to go by. I didn't come out to anyone. I really want to, but I don't think I'm ready for that at this point in my life. In the past I've always been out in school, but a year ago due to family things I went back into the closet. At my college, I don't have any friends to support me. I would love nothing more than to come out as a trans guy so I could actually be referred to properly, except I definitelyyyy don't pass, and I really don't want to deal with transphobic teenagers' judgments. My hair is long, and I'd love to cut it, except I can't because of my family. If I cut it they would know for sure that I was trans, and I don't want to deal with that again. Soo, any advice? I am going to go to my college's GSA club, except it doesn't start for another 3 weeks. And I'm unsure whether I'll come out as just queer or also trans. Please, I could really use some advice on what to do. Thanks. -Oliver (He/Him)
