I have known that I am non-binary for a long time, and I want to come out so people can use my correct pronouns. Having people use she/her pronouns for me makes me feel worse gender dysphoria, which is already bad, so I think coming out could be beneficial in that way. It just feels like I'm living a lie, because I am.

How do I even start coming out as nonbinary and how do I know who I should come out to?

When my Brother came out as non-binary (He switched to he/him later) he told me first. You should start small, with the people that will support you no matter what. If someone doesn't accept you, you just need to know that you are better off without them. They aren't your friend if they don't love you for being you. Keep in mind that being non-binary is completely fine and normal. I don't even know you and I support you! You got this!

So yesterday my mom asked me if I was comfortable as a girl cause I think she suspected something, and now she knows I am not a boy or girl. She is still talking about me with she/her and words like daughter/sister, but it's a start

That's a good idea, because it does seem like an overwhelming idea to come out to all at once

Use a pun or a drawing of you with clothes in nonbinary flag colors. Also, what everyone else on this thread said :)

I've tried that with making a flag friendship bracelet, but my family is oblivious
