Coming Out on Social Media
Today, though, it’s much simpler to come out to everybody in your life without making a huge issue out of it because of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. But should you reveal your identity on social media? Let us look at some of the benefits to come out on social media.
- Comparatively less stressful.
- Involve a large population on time (you will have stress as you will have to face the stressful situation of coming out only once to make it public).
- Further, it offers more acceptance (as chances of finding like-minded people are more).
- You can filter out the non-supportive people by not responding to their follow requests or friend requests on your personal social media account.
Chapter 2:
Points to Ponder
- Before coming out publicly on social media. Have a check on your dear ones such as your family or close friends who may want you to share your gender identity with them. So if you think your loved ones will be supportive, coming out in person is a better option. You can further check out our other learning material regarding “coming out” on our website.
- It is your choice when you want to come out but if you are under 18 we suggest you consult with your parents, guardian, or a therapist before doing it. Because being a minor you may make impulsive decisions. So to avoid such actions, your guardian’s advice is necessary.
- Similarly, you might not want to come out on social media if your boss would consider your gender identity to be a performance issue.
- In contrast, at the absolute least, make sure that only your friends can view your postings by adjusting your privacy options. (But only if you do not want to post it completely public).

Ways to Come Out on Social Media
Share a Status
It is simple to come out about your relationship status on social media if you are on one. For instance, you can choose from options and add “in a relationship with,” “married to,” or “in a same-sex marriage with” to your status. Do you find it simple?But if you are not in any relationship you can simply share a post revealing your gender identity. Check out below some of our coming-out captions for Instagram.
Share Posts
If you are not in any relationship, you can simply post articles or stories related to the LGBTQ community to share your interest and connect with like-minded people for your support. For instance, you might click on links to share some of the articles published on Epsychonline that catch your attention and come out on social media.Add Profile Photo
You may also update your profile photo to come out on social media. It could indicate one thing for a straight person to post a nice picture of two same-sex kissing as his profile picture. It declares to the world, “I am gay or bisexual!” Put rainbows into your profile pic, similarly to several LGBTQ major groups.LGBTQ Pride Month
February is a pride month for all LGBTQ communities. They come out this month for their rights and awareness. You can come out on social media during this month, as it talks about your rights and you may feel less awkward as everyone is talking about it.Use Pronouns
Moreover, Some people use pronouns on their social media profiles. However, a pronoun that does not assign a gender to the subject of the discussion is known as a gender-neutral or gender-inclusive pronoun. For instance use of they /them.Chapter 4:
