it's iykyk bc i have quite a few queer + nb specific stickers on my water bottle and pins on my backpack but it's not anything super explicit or that people who aren't already familiar w the queer community would pick up on, much less bring up

i didn't want to be out during hiring out of the worry that it would activate any unconscious bias but i would like to eventually come out...but between. y'know. and not really knowing where most coworkers are at politically (i only sort of know for a couple, and my direct supervisor is on the ball)

i'm also worried that the relief of being out and being seen would outweigh any negative reactions. not even touching client stuff considering a lot of our clients are rural (obviously not everyone in rural places is conservative but still)
