Supporting people coming out - ideas?
LGBTQ+ / MOGII Support / by IsaSilver

...See more I am actually part of the lgbtq+ support group at work, and I recently had the opportunity to do something to support people coming out navigate the workplace while they are at it. While I have ideas, I also wanted to listen to others' suggestions about what kind of support is the most helpful to others. Any constructive comments welcomed. Thank you! If you don't have what kind of support a person coming out may need, maybe you can also tell me about any stories of challenging things that happened in your coming out journey, and maybe I can take some of that as inspiration as well. :)
Dealing with past conservative past connections gracefully

...See more I am trans, and I happen to be talking about it with one of my past connection today since I am visiting for the weekend (I moved away from that town since). I came out to her quite some time ago, and she seems pretty accepting, and never questioned me about things, despite her saying that she felt unable to comprehend that. Given that, I thought perhaps she's okay with LGBTQ stuff but when we discussed about conservative people today, we had an argument about the baker case about the wedding cake and a gay couple... She was supportive of it being legal, where I wasn't. And when I asked, if you support the baker's case about a cake, where does the line end? Does it mean that all public services can be denied on that basis? And she said yes, which was like, so foreign to me. I cannot comprehend why she thinks that's acceptable, while being kind to me at the same time. Am I jist being tolerated without me knowing? I suddenly have second thoughts about why she seemed friendly to me despite me having come out to her. It felt like, pity… I don't know, but I felt really hesitant about her as a friend now… Am I being overly sensitive?

...See more I went for a walk today outside and passed by a stretch of gravelly path. I suddenly thought of last year after my last broke up, and I was walking along the same path at a super duper slow pace, camera in hand, and stopping at anything that catches my attention. I was really sad that day because the walk reminded me of the breakup. It's quite common for people to walk their dogs along this path too, and I remember that there's a medium sized dog that passed by me and then she kept looking at me, and she even stopped her human. A couple times just to check and make sure I was okay. While I did felt loved, but I also felt so sorry for myself that, of all the people who passed by, only the dog noticed the emotions that was pretty much just oozing out of me then. I walked along that same path today again and I got reminded about it. I guess I must have got past it already, since I am no longer crying when I think about it, but it makes me wonder, if I were another human seeing myself walking along that path again, will I have noticed? And if I did, what would I have done? Sometimes, it feels unfortunate that while people seems so much more connected these days, we seemed to be so much more selective with whether or not we approach anybody to check and see if they are doing okay. I hope that if I see myself there again someday, that I will have the courage to ask, "are you okay? Would you like to join me on my walk?"
