So I'm gen z, so my headspace may be a little bit different, but I'd say come out as soon as you know and are comfortable doing so. It's never too early to come out. You are trans when you say you are. Anybody shaming you for not being femme enough to be out is just an asshole.
For me personally, I started presenting outwardly when the discomfort of hiding myself surpassed the discomfort of the transphobia and stares. I didn't really get much from therapy when it comes to my trans journey, I just kept throwing myself out there repeatedly until it became more uncomfortable to boy mode than to be myself. I still get dysphoria about not passing occasionally, but honestly I feel way better about not passing now than I did a few years ago.
Thank you <3
It really helps to hear this. Especially where my thoughts and feelings are all over the place day to day.
