them. Below is a list of some of these benefits as well as some
things to consider.

Considerations
– Transphobia
– Safety

– People not listening/understanding (ignorance)
– People trying to talk you out of it/

Coming out rarely is all good or all bad, but if you do have a
negative experience, remember that by coming out you will have
increased opportunities to meet other trans people, make new
friends, and receive support from others.
