I 'came out', for want of a better term, in the last year at school and, mostly, people were supportive - or, better..didn't care either way - but I had one instance when I decided to be kinda cool, and get dressed....
Went out, just around shops I seem to remember, and obviously didn't 'pass' as well as I thought I would.
I got a lot of sneering voices from boys a bit older than me, ridiculing me...berating me; all verbal taunts.
I was highly anxious and close to tears....ran home....upstairs...crying my eyes out and nearly vomiting..shaking like a leaf.
Composed myself....watched a lot of the youtube vids on makeup and stuff, and...voila! Here I am today, able to talk about it.
