I think you should start talking to a person already out of the closet. Talk to them and get advice from them. They'll hopefully know right from wrong. If you don't know anyone, tell your closest friend. One you'll know won't judge you/ hurt you in and kind of way. The one that you tell all your secrets too. They'll help. And remember that you are going to get judged in every single possible way by ignorant and stubborn people, you just have to remember that you are who you are, and there is not another way. Just slowly start letting people know. People will start talking and asking questions. So what if you get hate, at least you'll be spreading the truth and not hiding in some dark, dusty, and cramped closet :) feel free to send me any anon questions, i'll listen and try to give you (really bad but terra) advice.
