I'm an LGBTQ Activist, But That Doesn't Make Coming Out Trans to My Stepson Any Less Terrifying

"I'm a well-known sex educator and activist. I teach about coming out all the time. And I have found myself in a committed relationship with a beautiful woman who has a son that I have come to call my own. And at the time of this writing, I am almost two years into being in this young man's life and he doesn't know I am transgender. How did that happen and how come this is so damn hard for me to tell him?

My stepson has been in middle school and it hasn't always been easy. Kids get picked on, judged and bullied. I couldn't get past this idea that if it was known that I was transgender, things could only get worse."
