“The 1st time I “came out” to my family & friends, I didn’t want to have the conversation in person. So, I posted my preferred name & my pronouns on Facebook. Fortunately, some showed their support by positively reacting to the post.
However, the post did not signal the end of my journey. I often use different pronouns, & I’m still not sure how I identify. Coming out is still a process for me. With support, I’ve learned that that’s okay.” - Tyunique, Philadelphia
