Tldr, scared about coming out and its consequences I'm 18 & scared/confused about my immediate future. In the last 6 months, I have come to accept myself as trans. What scares me is telling others. I live in a conservative area with a conservative family (I have heard comments about trans people openly existing being the work of the devil), and i go to a wels church. I am scared that when i come out my family will hate me. I know i will be excommunicated from my church, which in some ways is good, but it also hurts as I am currently in the praise band and like the people there despite some of their views. It also hurts because i feel confused enough as to what i believe already. Am I cutting myself off from christ? My pastor is supposed to teach me how to drive as well. Awkward. Im starting college this fall and have signed up under my own chosen name rather than my given name. I'm wondering how I should even go about telling everyone. Thanks for getting this far. God bless you.
