hrt, coming out, request for advice 

For anyone who is out and/or on HRT: would you recommend starting HRT before or after coming out (to family specifically)? I thought I'd just rip the bandaid off and tell my family before I officially start hormones but I find myself wondering if that's really the best idea...

@Zelli tbh, either/or works pretty fine. i came out pre hormones but some folks don't. tbh, it depends on your comfort level...

if you're concerned that it may not be a good call to come out atm, then it's fine to start hormones first. unless someone is hyper hyper observant, the casual observer won't pick up on the gradual changes so you can kinda pace things out without potential drama.

@Scarly @Zelli basically what scarly said, tbh :blobthinking:

in my case I came out after I'd been on hormones a while... but at the end of the day, whatever you're most comfortable with is best
