I don't really have much in the way of catchy or cute tropes to contribute here (those I share on facebook ), all I have to share is my own personal experience.

I have come out 4 times in my lifetime - as bisexual, transgender, kinky, and polyamourous, in that order. Each time I discovered that part of myself, accepted it, and came out to friends and family, I found myself more comfortable with myself, and able to go about my life more naturally. While I still get spells of depression (which come with having bipolar disorder), they no longer have anything to do with my sexual or gender identity. Having friends and allies who support me has gone a long way toward being comfortable with myself.
