Coming Out

Coming Out is a process unique to the LGBTQ+ Community and people have had a variety of experiences in how this has panned out for them. University is often seen as a fresh start and a great time to start opening up about your sexual and romantic orientation / gender identity, which can be a great relief!

Coming Out is entirely optional and there is no right or wrong with whether someone decides to come out, also it’s worth acknowledging that you don’t just “Come Out” once! Some people come out to their friends at Uni but not their families etc.

If you would like advice on coming out, feel free to get in contact with our society Instagram account, our Welfare and Inclusions Officer or another committee member you feel comfortable opening up to! 

For more information about coming out as Trans+, we have information of the administrative processes here.
