Uh hi, I'm Catnip~ (Desert Stream~ once my name gets changed :p) but you can call me Lissa I guess... I'm a trans female and also pansexual...
For LGBTQ+: What was your initial coming out process like? If you haven't come out, what is holding you back?
Well the first time I came out, idk what I was thinking really. I never really know why I do it, I just feel like it's a good time to do it I guess... I have a very good sense for who I can trust and when I should do it. The first time I told anyone was to my friend over discord. It was really boring. I told my other best friend and his brother late one night playing overwatch lol. And uh, yeah I usually just text most people. I've told three people in person.
My brother kinda guessed that I was LGBTQ+ (I think he was joking when he said it but I figured I might as well come out while the topic was there) and then he asked if he could tell my parents, and I said he could... That's kinda it, it's never really gone too badly for me.
How do you feel about LGBTQ+ pride? Is it important? [e.g. Pride parades, Pride Month, LGBT History Month, etc]
I don't really have too much of an opinion on this. I want it to affect my life as little as possible so I don't really discuss it usually. Some people dedicate their lives to fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, going to pride events, etc. but that's just not for me. More power to those who do I guess, lol
