How do I come out as nonbinary?

it depends mostly on your current situation/relationship with the person/people you're coming out to. it's obviously more important to have a plan if you're coming out to someone who might not be very accepting, whereas someone accepting of the community could be a lot more simple. i was blessed with an accepting mother, so i came out as lesbian nonchalantly one day while we were at the store, but something like this might not be the right answer for you at all. a good idea for coming out to someone you're not so sure of as being supportive or not is to tell them one of your friends came out as nonbinary, and see how they react.

Start with the most trusted friend, if you think that no one in your circle is open enough to hear you then find a community online and accept yourself as nonbinary. You are free to change your mind later, what matters only is that you feel like you identify as nonbinary now. What other people think is their own problem, it might sound harsh but we already spend a lot of time managing our own mind so why bother managing others? Remember, if you think that you are in danger due to your identity then take your safety into consideration first. Ask yourself a question if the danger is perceived or real. In summary there is no right way to come out, you are what you are. Other people can have their own opinions. Do other's opinions hurt sometimes when verbalized? Yes. But you will do well, I believe you can do it, stranger.

Tell your parents to have a seat I need to tell you something. And tell them you are nonbinary. Explain to them why you are nonbinary. And if they don't accept you talk to a therapist or a counselor. If they accept you that is great! If your friends accept that's wonderful! If they don't explain to them only true friends would accept me and walk away. If I was your friend and you came out as nonbinary I'd support you! If you need any help with coming out message me! I'd be happy to help! :D

I think the best way to come out as nonbinary is to read other stories for ideas and encouragement, then you wont be as nervous. You should find explanations and examples to help other people understand and support you better. I think a great way is to write down what you want to say, just for yourself. Write down everything that you deem important for others to know. Now for the actual coming out: Plan ahead of time with the person you wan to come out to, say something like 'I have something important I want to talk about and I need your full attention. When would you have time?' Take your time to explain everything and ask them for their support. You could alternitavely also write them a letter, a bit like the one you wrote for yourself. But be prepared that as sad as it is, not everyone might be supportive, remember that that is not your fault and not your concern. I hope this helped someone!!

I came out to my friends first, kind of betting on them to be the most educated & accepting - this also helped me set boundaries for them & myself. Things like personal questions about my identity are off limits, they know that my identity isn't there to educate them. It really comes down to opening a line of communication to the people you have chosen to come out to & yourself, so that the social transition is as smooth as possible. If a friend is making you uncomfortable using gendered terms you two can discuss it without either of you feeling as though its straining your relationship.

The decision to come out is a highly individualized one. Everyone exists in different circumstances, and thus, none of us can really say to another person if or how they "should" come out. Only you can know how your particular circumstances and influences such as emotional well being, ambient support, safety, and local laws can impact you and your decision. That being said, if coming out is something you want to do, perhaps consider doing so in a way that makes tangible the changes (if any) you want to see in your life as a result of you coming out. Some people choose to embrace new pronouns, names, clothes, or other forms of expression. These changes may or may not appeal to you. One way to help yourself know whether something is important, is to ask yourself what you feel versus what you want to feel instead. For instance, if you have dysphoria around the pronouns people use for you or the way people expect you to dress, you might want to start there. You could set new pronouns or a new appearance as priorities in how you want to be addressed or received after you come out. In other words, imagine the ideal way you wish to live, and set priorities based on what is important to your vision.

So, you can do this however you want, it can be over text, or in person, but how you do it is completely up to you. If it's over text, you tell the person you trust the most first, and you text them saying, "Hey, i was wondering if i could tell you comething thats been on my mind for a while." Remember, this person is someone you trust a whole lot. In person, you could say the same thing that's over text, but the place you do it should be somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. Just remember that you are you and no one can change that. Be calm, and make sure you know what you think your going to say.

Do what makes you feel best and most comfortable! This is a big step and I'm proud of you for making it :) Some possible options could be coming out via letters/writing, in an in-person conversation, or you could even print a letter and sit with someone when they read it. Perhaps hearing about other peoples' experiences coming out as nonbinary could be helpful for inspiration, or just to know that you're not alone. I'm not sure what else you're going through in regards to this, but I'm sure that you're strong for doing this! Sending love!

Remember, only come out when you feel comfortable and safe in your environment, and you know that they will support you. There are many creative ways you can come out as nonbinary; Bake the flag into a cake, make an animation about it, be couragous and wear a pin. But there are many more direct ways, too. You could just go up and tell them, or correct people when they dont use your prounouns correctly. You could write that as your age when asked, or just not tell anyone at all except for times they ask your gender and such.

Coming out can be a very scary and stressful experience, especially when you're coming out to those you care about. There's not one perfect way to come out - you should come out in the way that makes you comfortable. That might be sitting someone down and having a conversation with them about what being nonbinary means, or it could mean that you send them a casual text letting them know what pronouns you prefer. The most important thing to remember when coming out to someone is that - no matter what they say or how they react - you are a valid human being who is worthy of love and acceptance.
