Write a short coming out story. it could be about you or a friend or a family member.

I came out to my mom as Genderfluid when I was 16. I brought the subject up because I had been trying so hard to find the right time to tell her. She had just gotten off the phone with my transphobic uncle, and I said, "Speaking of transphobes I need to tell you something!" I was so nervous. She was very weary and confused at first. She did her best to accept me and use my preferred name and pronouns. After I moved away from home it slowly stopped. She has disowned me since then. While being Genderfluid was only a small part of that it still hurt. However I don't think I'd be alive today if I had stayed in the closet. I was so unhappy and now I know I am being the most authentic me possible.

Explanation:

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

explanation:

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
