“Trans folk know coming out is not a one-time event;
you have to keep coming out because of how the world presumes a certain kind of body,
you might have to correct pronouns being used for your partner or for yourself;
coming out as that tiring work of correction,
correction often heard as complaint,
as negative,
assertive,
demanding.
If you have to keep coming out with it, in or out can feel more like round and about”
