ive recently kind of came out, and yet whenever someone asks me for my pronouns or asks me how theyre supposed to call me or struggle using my perferred pronouns i feel like such a burden. i dont want to cause trouble to people and i dont know if i should stop trying to transition or keep going as a burden.

It’s okay. Don’t stop transitioning just because your friends struggle with pronouns. You’re friends’ll get used to it. I’m straight, but my friend came out to me as non-binary a year ago, and I have like, 5 other gay friends, and, in about maybe a month of seeing each other near daily, “they” & “them” was in my brain as what to call them. I’m no expert, and Your friends may take longer, but they’ll use your pronouns easily eventually. Your not a burden because you’re LGBTQ+,
