the lack of well known research and studies in this field really sucks yeah. my doctor specializes in this stuff but that doesn't really help.

hey this thread's been dead for awhile but i'll ask my question im bi but i've never mentioned it to anyone, and it's got me wondering what coming out would even look like. it's not like i'm hiding a super different personality or have a boyfriend or anything, i've just been consider it might do me some good to be a little more open about it than nothing at all. thing is, it's not like this is a subject anyone i socialize with really discusses, so is there even a point if after doing so i hope/expect that nothing changes?

carry on then posted:hey this thread's been dead for awhile but i'll ask my question For me, coming out as bi was an important part of my self-acceptance, and it was surprising to hear the range of responses from people. I would say most of my friends didn't care, but a surprising number were either closeted, or questioning, or out but didn't bring it up. That part was fun. I got to have a lot of good conversations and got to know some friends in different ways thanks to that. Also, it created a bit of a safe space for the closeted/questioning friends, which selfishly also helped with my self-acceptance. Similarly, I was (and am still) married at the time, so I had similar "doesn't change much" sentiment, but it was very worthwhile for me. I'm not sure if I'd see myself the same way had I not come out years ago, even coming out casually to accepting friends. I only came out explicitly to a group of people I was close with, and to the rest I just brought it up if the topic came up, like for conversations about equal rights and such. My work also has good interest groups that were more enjoyable for me to participate in being out publicly. Still, coming out is fun. If you're considering it and it's emotionally/physically safe to do so, I recommend it, even if it seems like it won't change much. You might be surprised how many people are in a similar boat, and it feels good to do with good friends.

Eh, if it comes up it comes up 🤷🏻♀️ Sometimes it's just as simple as not hesitating to agree "oh hell yeah that person tickles my fancy, my plain and everything in between" and just going from there Also bracing for weird questions from the straights

Ellie Trashcakes posted:Eh, if it comes up it comes up 🤷🏻♀️ the way i came out, way back in middle school, was in the lunch line in the cafeteria. two girls i knew ahead of me were discussing Cute Bois and i just kinda jumped in and went "well i think [such and such] is a cute boi". the way i remember it (nearly 20 years ago at this point so who knows how it actually happened) a big chunk of the cafeteria around me just kinda went quiet and stared and was like "you're gay?!" and i'm just like "yep. what about it." and they just kinda went back to eating lunch i mean i'm actually bi but like, it wasn't really a moment for nuance e: weirdly nobody really gave me poo poo for it until i got to highschool, and even then the only poo poo i got for it was the occasional weird religious stuff. like once this girl i barely knew just walked right up to me and went "i heard you're gay", i said yes, she said "you know you're going to hell, right?", i said yep, and she said something like "ok well as long as you know its fine i guess" and walked away. very weird exchange.

I didn’t need to come out as bi/pan, everyone already figured so my “coming out” was just adding it to my twitter bio lol all my friends know I have a case of The Genders so that’s a thing too

I'm a coward about going on hormones because I'm poor as gently caress and weird and already a target of discrimination. on the other hand I'm weird and poor as gently caress so nobody notices what I do anyway wish I could say some happy story about how I discovered myself lmao
