I'm asking as a person who has lived their entire life trying to hide. I was subjected to death threats and mutilation from my father when he happened to find out that I might not be what he had in mind for his first-born "Son".

I'm older now (30+), and finally at a point in my life where I need to stop hiding or it's going to kill me. But, I have no idea how to go about any of this, or even if it's worth trying to. I don't believe I'll ever pass, or even if I want to. I just know I'm not the "me" that I've been wearing as a mask to get by.

Has anyone else ever went through something similar?
