Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore trans people’s feelings and thoughts about coming out as transgender to their environment in order to create a deeper understanding about the process of coming out. A qualitative method was applied to study nine different stories written by trans people, taken from three different websites. The study showed that the writers discussed factors such as worries about coming out, identity and support from friends and family. Furthermore, the result showed that support and affection were important for their mental health. Additionally, the concept of identity was contextual and inconsistent. Finally, the study showed that the majority of the writers felt anxious and angsty about coming out.
