Personal Narrative: Coming Out

167 Words1 Pages
Coming out has become a right of passage these days. Coming out stories inspire books, articals, and movies. I personally never formally came out. I dont hide it, I just never felt the need to. My moms side wouldnt give two flying shits. They would probally just be happy i wouldnt be procreating. My southern baptist dad 's side would probally be a different story. Since I 'm married to a man, I figured its not worth the bullshit. I personally dont feel im living a lie. The people who need to know my sexual preferences already know (i.e my husband), and being bisexual isn 't my identity. I suppose if i had to hide it like i did when i was in the army, it would be a lot harder. I 'm pretty sure my family already knows, and are just waiting for

I’ll blame it on the fact that I haven’t confessed to the priest and so I can’t receive the bread and wine for so I’ll be receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in a state of disgrace. But in reality, my parents don’t know that I am not as religious as they want me to be. My whole family, including my extended family, are Catholics. I too once catergorized myself as a Catholic, but as I got more involved in American culture and education, I became less interested and less spiritually involved with Catholicism. I keep mouth shut because I still want that sense of belonging, but I don’t actually agree or enjoy certain aspects of my parent’s

My second oldest sister was the first member in my immediate family to move out of my parent’s house to live with her Mexican boyfriend. During this time my parents thought that this was the ultimate betrayal, leaving the household and dating someone outside of our nationality. However, that was not the ultimate betrayal that left my parents heart-broken and ashamed. In late 2001, my sister gave birth to my nephew and married in 2002 with her Mexican husband in Las Vegas. My brother-in-law did not pay for my sister, nor did they have a Hmong wedding in California for my parents.

I was born trans, and I will die trans. There is nothing parent’s, my priest, or myself could have done or will do to change that. I came out as transgender the summer before I started high school, and let me tell you this, it was quite a shock to my parents. Let me tell you this, there is no amount of hints you can drop that will make two gold star Catholic parents ponder, “Hmm, I think my daughter, just might be a boy,” even if you go the extra mile to the most tomboy person imaginable, cut all your hair off, only wear boy clothes, and develops an obsession with studying trans people while reporting back to them. Not even for second will it cross their minds.

I did it. I came out to my mom and dad. They weren’t exactly happy with me, but I was prepared for the worst so this was actually a relief. My parents are firm believers in what we might call the Charmed Circle. I heard about it in a documentary or something, but essentially it “rationalize[s] the well-being of the sexually privileged” or straight people (Rubin 13).

I just don’t want them to change the way they look at me. Living in A house of six, knowing you are different from everyone else at a young age can really effect you, but as I got older I accept that even with me having a different father from all my other sisters that does not have to play a part in my life. No matter how sad I may get I know God will always be there for me. I never liked the fact my mother kept the situation about my father from me, but I guess it was a way of protection. I can say my mother and father created a beautiful child, and yes I may not be able to see my dad or know what he’s like as a person for myself.

Intersectionality is a framework designed to acknowledge and investigate the dynamic between various identities and their connected systems of oppression. As someone who struggles to understand the purpose of labels, as they give name to their co-existing stigma and predispositions, it intrigued me when I first began the paper, writing: “As a white male…”. In a society where identities are necessary to express oneself, everyone is susceptible to the oppression and benefits of these systems, and the goal of this paper is to simply explore how I, Nolan Cobb, was, and am affected by the stigma attached to the various labels of which I choose to identify. It is, however, noteworthy to mention that I will be greatly condensing my experiences throughout

That is my job. I guess I learned that lesson when my father disowned me three times. The first time he disowned me was when he found out I was gay by my mom. Once my little brother found out on the fourth of July 2016, he threatened to tell my mom if I didn’t do his chores for a week. I refused and he told my mom and it did not go well.

Since I kept it as a secret, my parents couldn’t believe what they heard. They thought I was a girl who only focused on school and friends, perhaps I did.
