Coming out can be really, really scary...and for those queer beauties who can't always orally communicate (i.e. people with autism or anxiety or mutism - selective or physical - or PTSD)...it can be physically impossible to just 'spit it out' as the abled queer community would expect. I've been there and I get it. So just play the videos and let them do the talking for you if that'll make the process a little easier. And remember that you are NEVER obligated to come out if you don't want to for any reason whatsoever.
So I'm making this playlist:
The Person Who Sent You This Is Asexual (for coming out as asexual, obviously)
The Person Who Sent You This Is Aromantic (for coming out as aromantic, obviously)
Transgender Adventure - Laci Green (this one is better for binary trans people)
I'm Pansexual?! - Laci Green (for coming out as pansexual)
BOYS CAN HAVE A VAG!! (for coming out as transgender; this one would work really well for coming out as genderqueer/nonbinary)
COMIN' OUT! (Bisexuality) (for coming out as bisexual)
BISEXUALITY <3 (also for coming out as bisexual)
Homo*Sexual (for coming out as gay or lesbian)
NO SEX?! - ASEXUALITY (for coming out as asexual, though this doesn't work if you're cupio/kalossexual. You can still use it for gray-a, though.)
Genderfluidity?! (for coming out as genderfluid)
5 Things You Should Know About Being Genderqueer (for coming out as genderqueer)
What is Agender? (for coming out as agender)
On Being Genderqueer (for coming out as genderqueer)
Homo*Sexual (for coming out as gay or lesbian)
NO SEX?! - ASEXUALITY (for coming out as asexual, though this doesn't work if you're cupio/kalossexual. You can still use it for gray-a, though.)
Genderfluidity?! (for coming out as genderfluid)
5 Things You Should Know About Being Genderqueer (for coming out as genderqueer)
What is Agender? (for coming out as agender)
On Being Genderqueer (for coming out as genderqueer)
So pick a video and do your thing!!!
Also, since there aren't a lot of resources for coming out as nonbinary or genderqueer, I'm providing this comic I found today on Tumblr.
Also there's this article from Everyday Feminism.
And these articles, comics, and videos that you can use, too.
Good luck.
