As a freshman in college, I called my mom to let her know I was dating a trans man, who she had actually met before they transitioned, as they were a classmate of mine from elementary school.

About ten years ago, I had a dream about Sue Silverster looking right at me and screaming into a megaphone "YOU'RE GAY!!!". Woke up with a start and was like "No way, me?!", then I went to the mirror, looked at myself and said "I'm a lesbian". Came out to my mom a month later.

when I was fifteen I forgot to put my phone on silent and somebody called me in the middle of maths class, Man I Feel Like A Woman blasted out during trigonometry, I got called Shania Shane for a year, and there was really just no point denying it. https://t.co/vTpTPRixQp

Told my bestie I’m bi in 2020 and she told me she knows because I told her when we were in grade 7. I looked at her like this. https://t.co/FUsBtW4kVipic.twitter.com/22s5hOdaYA

I came out to my mom over the phone and she said "didn't I know that already?" and I said "… no?" and she goes "oh okay. uhhh can we talk about this later?" and I was so confused and 6 years later she told me she was on a ladder painting a house through that whole conversation https://t.co/zvSPKDhUtl

My best one is when I came out to my Gran her reply was "Good for you! I tried being a lesbian in the 70s but it just didn't work for me."

Gran wasn't a huge fan of men, so I think she was actually really delighted I had other options 😂
I got suspended from school and me & my father got to arguing and he says “I’m starting to think you’re gay” I rebuttal with “I am and you the only person who isn’t trying to see it” couple hrs later he came back downstairs crying telling me he loves and supports me regardless https://t.co/CxqZdEaZh3
