Terrified about coming out

[strange sandal]

Both my friends and my family are not fond about the LGBTQ community, in a theological sense it is seen weird or a phase. I’ve been trying to suppress it down for 3 years after drama happened with my aunt trying to help me come out to my parents, and they didn’t accept me being trans so I just kept it down. The past two years I tried to connect with my religion again but it’s just gone terribly away.

My dream was to be in the military but transgenders cannot serve, so i might just do police stuff… i don’t know what to do anymore with coming out and if i should just wait till i’m 18 to disappear away from my family and change identity completely.

You said you wanted to join the military, Canada allows transgenders serving if you want to join the military really bad. Canadian Armed Forces allows trans people to do any job including special forces. I have bad advice on coming out so I don't know how to help with that.

ty, but i was hoping for usmc 😔

I'm really sorry that that's happening, I'm not the best at giving advice (especially bc I'm sorta in a similar situation) but I'm here if you ever need to vent/talk about anything 💖

If you know they won't accept i do really suggest not coming out. I know it's hard to pretend to be a gender you're not but it's better to not until you're independent.

yeah, i’m just scared to loose track with my family because I love my brothers kindly

plus I know I don’t have as much time with one of them so i really wish to stay close

There is a dont ask dont tell policy so the military cant ask you about anything like that and you dont have to tell them
