I've been meaning to come out to him for months and I finally did it. Coming out is terrible always, but this was especially anxiety inducing. One reason is that I really admire my band director and if he were to react badly to this it would destroy me. From what I know about him, it doesn't seem like he would, but the small chance that he will is terrifying. There's also the fact that coming out to him is part of coming out to about a hundred more people. I desperately want to be out in band, especially in marching band. I can't spend another year going by my legal name. But I know that not everyone is going to accept me. In fact, one person who was in my section last year told one of my friends that he doesn't think trans people are scientifically possible. The idea of potentially being a section leader and having to face him every day doesn't sound like a good time. Im just hoping for the best at this point. There's nothing else I can do.
