ok, so here's the story.
i'm bisexual, and have been out to my parents for nearly 2 months now.
i'm out to a few people who can keep a secret
i'm also out to ONE VERY TRUSTY FRIEND about being demiboy.
i'm thinking not more about being open about my gender as I think since I still feel some connection to the male gender I might get away with that one (I would go by he/they pronouns anyways but this doesn't match with gender), but more being open about my sexuality.
it feels like something i need to get out of my system to more people, even if it's hard.
the problem is i don't know if everyone will be accepting, but tbf nobody talks bad about me at school when i play music for people, when i stand on the council, when i do all that stuff, so hopefully they accept me for being who I am! (my LGBTQ+ identity is simply a part of that).
i don't wanna be simply known though as "the darts guy" "the music guy" "the politics guy" though as i already am, and then in addition i don't wanna simply just be known as "the bi guy"
i wanna be known as aiden and being me
any tips you could give me because the coming out as bi thing (which i've only done to the people i've listed) has bugged me for over a year and a half, and the whole demiboy thing? yeah i'm not too bothered about saying anything abt that until i'm older as although i get some gender dysphoria, it's gonna be okay if i just live as myself and hopefully people will get the memo from that.
sorry for the rant, any suggestions?
#maybe thinking about being open about my sexuality to like people who ask or more of my friends?

I was in a slightly similar boat. I'm gay and I've been out to my parents, sister, and most of my friends since last year (though I am not out to most of my extended family). I also felt that I was a demiboy for a while and started going by he/they pronouns. I def have felt being slightly nonbinary. I am still a decently masculine guy, but I also didn't feel 100% male 100% of the time. I haven't really told many people about this other than a couple online friends who I know would be supportive. I also can relate to not wanting to be stereotyped and known as a specific stereotype, such as being a gay theater kid, or an autistic train spotter.
Also, you don't have to tell anyone if you aren't comfortable or ready to tell them. I've been using he/they pronouns for about 8 months at this point and nobody has batted an eye. Just remember that you aren't coming out for the sake of other people, you are doing it for yourself.
