It’s so scary, isn’t it?! I’m sorry to hear your friends haven’t been supportive, you definitely deserve better
I’ve been very fortunate that everyone I’ve come out to so far has been really positive and supportive. But I also started with all the “easy” ones: my queer and progressive friends, my therapist, etc. And I still have to figure out how to manage coming out to my conservative Catholic family, and at work.
I feel like I’m spending so much time agonizing over what might happen, I just need to have it be done so I can deal with whatever actually does end up happening
I started out with my safe ones as well. I’m really priveledged that I already had such amazing supportive friends and most of my family. Julia, I hope that you’re able to find better IRL friends or that your existing friends come around.
And I still have to figure out how to manage coming out to my conservative Catholic family
easy: just tell them that you’ve decided that the ancient (christians love antiquity) beauty ideal of long, flowing hair and a female posture is superior after all and that you reject the modern, secular short haircut, etc.
