Getting Ready to Come Out

Описание: #trans #transgender #comingout
Coming out as transgender, or anything other than cishet really can be a massive step, a weight off our shoulders and a moment to celebrate ourselves. However, there is also the risk of things not being understood, or even more dramatic and traumatic reactions, so it can be a terrifying thing. Although we can't control how others react, we can try to give ourselves the best shot at being understood. In this video, I show a recreation of my own coming out to my family, as well as some general advice on what to think about during the process, as well as some of the mindset to have going in. It is difficult, and you should be ready for when you do, so I hope I can help with that!
