coming out as ace wasn't that difficult of an experience, so i don't really know your situation

Well what is so difficult about saying you don't like sex?

>>8599673

You probably aren't that afraid of people knowing you're gay, but the way it will change your image. It's bad enough when gays and transfolk are fairly few and far between, but in the "faggot/tranny capital", people are going to be exposed to a bunch of stereotypes (mostly negative), and will paste them to you whether they fit or not.
From a gay POV, I realised that, after I came out, I got a lot of
>Do you like [gay thing that doesn't align with any of my other interests in the slightest]?
>Yaassss?
>You should try drag!
>Does this look good on me? Ughh, my butt looks fat!
>Let's go shopping, it'll be fun!
etc. that just never happened before. Only about 5% of my friends kept on treating me like they always used to and it was shit.

Oh well...

You're a pussy.

It's hard for most gays. We just suck it up and go through with it. Coming out to my parents was the most terrifying experience of my life but I did it. You're a coward so you don't.

Not too hard to understand.

OP here. I should clarify that I'm MtF, not gay.

>Everyone must be in exactly the same circumstances as me
>There's no reason, like need for financial support at uni or anything, for a person to hide their sexual orientation from their parents

Just transition and let them guess, then.

Especially if you have parents and an entire family that is hardcore Christian and ridiculously homophobic beyond reason.

The day my family finds out I'm gay will be the day I kill my self.
