Coming out is easier said than done. It’s always a bit shocking who is and who isn’t ok with it. You’ll find that people you thought for sure would be cool will get weirded out, and some of the people you were most fearful of couldn’t care less. And then there is the fact that cross dressers and trans people have no legal protections in many places here in the US as well as abroad. Would you be willing to come out to everyone if you knew your boss could fire you or your landlord could evict you if your secret gets out?
What I’m saying is that it is generally good to come out of the closet, you shouldn’t judge or shame those that don’t, as there can be some very real ramifications for them.
