Legbutts, do you get some anxiety in social situations with people who you think/know will reject you because of your sexuality? I live in a country where you'll end up in tomorrow's newspapers, all over the internet and shunned wherever you go for it. How do you get over this?

You move, far far away, and cut all ties

Yeah well you know, besides that. Any other legbutts from Islamic countries? Is there something you tell yourself, or is really moving the only option we have.

I am from a country in the middle east. I've come out to some family members(the more progressive ones) and they all treated it with utter respect and support. I'm close to starting HRT, but there's always the problem of coming out to the less progressive ones(especially when they happen to my parents). I am seriously considering moving elsewhere, but if I have my family next to me, and replace my friends that don't support me, I won't need to. I already pass pretty good, even though I'm pre-transition(people call me 'miss' all the time on the streets), so going stealth won't even be that hard.
Have you tried coming out to some people that you trust?

Thank you for responding. I'm jealous you have a bunch of supportive relatives. Pretty much all of my family are very, uh, is "traditional" the right word? Yeah. I only have one /lgbt/ relative as far as I know and when I came out to him the other day he just preached the usual religious gay preach to be patient and wait till you die and go to heaven to get to enjoy and love whatever you want to. It took me every ounce of my courage to ask him too. Oh well.
Theres no one I feel I can trust and I think everyone already knows I like to kiss other girls on the mouth, they just keep being in denial about it every single time I hint that at them. Maybe I should stop hinting and come out and just get those stones hurled at me already lmoa

If that's really true and all your relatives are the traditional type(please try to get to their core, they might not be what you expected after all), then I would indeed move away. I'm sorry for your situation anon. But like I said, people might be very different and not at all the same inside. So if you really do decide on moving away, at least give coming out a shot before you go. Can't really go wrong if you're already leaving, eh?
Side note, if you have a doctor relative, try coming out to them. Doctors will usually handle the situation as doctors(even if they personally are against this kinda stuff), and as such they might be supportive of you.
Stay safe.

So? Some Middle Eastern countries are very accepting. Like Israel for example.

It's not an accepting one.
