How do I come out as nonbinary?

Coming out is always really difficult. The first think I'd do, is make sure that it's safe to come out. Once you've established that it's okay to come out, I'm assuming that it would be most difficult to explain to people what being non binary is. Many people (sadly) are uneducated about the LGBT+ community. I hope your coming out goes well!

Tips on coming out: -make sure you are in a safe environment (don't put yourself in danger) -don't be too upset if you have to keep reintroducing the topic (these people have known you they way you have been presenting yourself it takes time for them to adjust) -be prepared for hate even the most supporting environment can have some negatives -don't rushing into anything take time to discover who you are and become the most authenticly you as possible -talk to people who have come out for advice -starting small can be good maybe tell a friend or a cousin

Start by telling the people you trust the most and that you know that they won´t judge you. Tell them what you are and try to explain in best way possible. When you start to feel comfortable telling a few people, it will start to be easier for you coming out, Just be you and be sure of yourself.

Be sure to have the right emotional support when you do it. If you can't find a friend who is completely open to it, find a listener that you like on 7 Cups. Start off slow by talking about the LGBT+ community, then transgender people in specific and try to help these people grow more accepting (if not already) before you tell them. If you're too scared to tell them face to face, it's perfectly ok to tell them on the phone, send them a recorded voice message, or simply a text.

Take your time, sometimes it can be hard. What I did, was I went up to my dad, looked him straight in the eyes, and admitted it. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, you, are you! Take your own time, and don’t feel rushed. Good luck!

It depends on what type of person you are! It may be that you want to sit everyone down and tell them outright, or you might want to tell people individually.

Follow your heart. Consider if you're in a safe enough environment to come out yet or not. Your choices are sometimes permanent decisions. You can also pick and choose who you wish to come out to at a time, slowly. If it sometimes stressful and hard to say the words out loud - it's fine to come out in different ways as well instead of verbally. Just be ready for a lot of questions.

Everybody's experience is different for coming out especially as non-binary. For me, validating myself was the first step and then being prepared to answer any questions as well as be respectfully assertive
