22. I told a lot of my remaining contacts about it this year. But I don't have much contacts and zero reallife anyway. I don't care if anyone knows or doesn't know. Its nothing you can be 'proud' of, other people should just accept it or will be removed otherwise.
I told my mom when I was like 12.
She told me "You're too young to know that".
I never bothered coming out a second time and I'm 35 now.
>I can't get enough (You)'s on /tv/ so I'll come here to directly b8 the fags
wew lad
as bi at 16, mom and relatives didn't like it and threatened to send me to the military so i left home and stayed with friends to avoid it. Remained closeted until saying fuck it at 26ish. It seemed to go over better then, all my friends were cool with it. some senpai still dont like it but dont bother me about it and are nice to me. I'm 35 now

>and threatened to send me to the military
How could they do that?

I'm 27 and I'm still not really fully out. I've only told my mom and my friends a few years ago when I was like 23ish I think.
I really don't know how to tell all of my family. It seems like it would be a really arduous process and I'd have to go through it like a hundred times over just because of how often we see our extended family as well.

I don't know they were probably trying to intimidate, but it was either agree to go do asvab tests (had recruitment center there) and then get sent to basic/so on, or move out (moved out)
gay, 19/21
trans, 26
oddly my parents were more accepting of me being trans than gay...

I was gender non-conforming and literally everyone knew I'd be a tranny before I did and didn't completely try to to stop it.

I got constant "we'll love you no matter what!" talks while I was a teenager because they thought I was gay, came out as trans at 20 and suddenly they are freaking out about how could I possibly do this to them.
Whoops lol
>>8203645
>implying i will ever come out
It just seems too painful for me,
Plus my "friends" told me that they would cut all contact with me if i were gay
I think I brought up that I was bi at one point in my mid teens, but I honestly don't remember.

Your parents' rich friend made them a bet that if you ended up gay, he would pay their mortgage off and give them the money they paid over the years, but if you turned out trans, they would have to pay him whatever they pay their mortgage company, so their mortgage payments essentially doubled.

You already said they're not your friends. Dump them.

Sorry to hear, anon. I got lucky and had an accepting friendbase (mostly punks goths and metalheads). If you have any sort of friendbase that you know would accept you, perhaps eventually you can work up the courage. When I did it, I just looked at it as a way of determining my true friends, and weeding out petty assholes out of my life. I'd rather not be a secret, much prefer being me
Whoever is left in the wake is the real deal. Don't fully know your situation though, just putting this here.

Hmm. Maybe they're just phobic, but don't necessarily hate homosexuals? I have a few friends like that. Even got some staunch conservatives in the mix, sometimes they'll be smart asses and we'll playfully talk shit to each other, but in the end they don't care as long as I'm not talking about gay smex or kissing guys in front of them. We just agree to disagree with some stuff.
