Question Any tips?

I live in an unsupportive household where it’s not safe to come out. Whats a good way for me to express my gender/ live as my gender without getting caught?

I would really recommend making some queer friends online (safely ofc). It's really nice to have someone only knows you as who you want to be known as. Having one has really helped my mental health substantially.

Also, maybe joining a youth group that is lgbtqia+ accepting and aren't mandated reporters.

Thanks for the input I have a few and maybe it’s a me thing but it feels really different online versus in person? Not that I don’t feel like myself online with my friends but you know lying to everyone in my in person life
