Coming Out

I’m queer. I don’t fit into the typical mold of gender and sexuality. To be specific, I’m transgender and nonbinary.

If this is surprising to you, I’m sorry. Communication is not something I’m good at. This topic isn’t particularily easy for me to talk about either. But it’s time I come out. It’s not really a good time to come out. But I suspect there will never be a good time for it.

If you know me and this makes you feel like I’m an entirely different person; I’m not. I’m still the same person you know. I’m still bad at socializing. I still spend way too much time on computers and playing video games. I still want to live in a walkable city. I still hate being surrounded by cars.

If something is different, it’s that I’ve taken the first step to being more open. I hope that you will support me on this journey.

What does this mean for you?

When calling me by name, I’d like it if you’d call me Lurk or Lurkie. I’m not entirely sure on that name, but I’d like to try it out. When using a pronoun to refer to me, please use they or them.
