          anxious, and yeah when I have kids they won't need to come out because I wouldn't assume their sexuality in the first place

    I'm bi, married to a man. My parents talk about LGBTQ people like they are aliens, and the society I live in is fairly sexist and otherwise not up to date compared to the US. I'm out to some of my friends who I know to be progressive and kind, and of course to my husband, but in general I feel that telling people I am bi would just be very counter-productive, especially because a lot of people believe that if you're bi, you're either a lesbian in denial or a straight girl looking for attention.

    I'm trans, in a very conservative area, lack means to stand on my own, and my parents would be less than welcoming based on things they have said in the past.

    I don't want to risk my friends and family not believing me, so I'm figuring things and and preparing.

    I just feel that my friends and peers will judge me, somewhat. I know they won't, but fear is very irrational, I guess.

    Because nobody has asked, and I have no reason to bring it up myself, and if I'm really honest, I'm not really all that clear as to what I am, and so I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain it...

    Because nobody has asked, and I have no reason to bring it up myself, and if I'm really honest, I'm not really all that clear as to what I am, and so I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain it coherently to anybody else. Of course, if they were interested, I'd try to explain the best I can.

    I'm trans and I've been transitioning but I'm only out to my friends, my family, and some of my partner's family. I work remotely so hiding it from work isn't hard but my coworkers are all very conservative (allegedly they played "spot the tranny" during lunch one day and my friend in the office vented to me) and I want my voice to be better/more consistent anyways.

    Because I'm not sure if I really am queer. It wasn't until I had been married for several years that I felt safe even considering the possibility that I might enjoy sex with another man, and I've yet to meet a man to whom I felt any attraction. In any case, being married to a woman who doesn't want to share me, I wouldn't feel free to explore even if I did meet somebody.

    If anything, I'm probably demisexual and heteroromantic, and there seems little real difference between that and being straight.
