You don’t owe your coming out to anyone! It’s a personal choice and if you want to just let people figure it out on their own, well that’s more than okay. I actively came out to family and friends I’m close with, but I’m sure plenty of people wondered who this new Facebook friend was and sorted it out on their own from there. Or my mom called them to announce the news like I just got engaged or had a baby.
when a friend changes all their account names and pictures, i get giddy and excited for them :3
I havent come out to anyone yet but my PFP is now a Blahaj using a Thinkpad :3
👀 this happened to me when i changed my name at work with hr but failed to realize stupidly that my managers would obviously see it (since i was getting up the nerve for two weeks to write a letter to them about it but i always lost my nerve)
they ended up coming to me and saying did you transition? 🙃
(i realise im generally pretty privileged in my experience and take nothing for granted though dont get me wrong)
When you aren’t out to yourself yet, but start sort of doing the latter anyways and still couldn’t take your own hints.
