Big step for me - just updated my gender and "Interested in" on Facebook

Quick question before my long ramble: Anyone just update their Facebook preferences without making a big announcement? Did anyone notice or say anything?

So my never-ending coming out saga... I'm in my 30s now and have been varying degrees of out since I was 19. I ended up unintentionally re-closeted when I married a man, and then had to come out to (new) friends a few years ago when we divorced. Thing is, even though my sexuality isn't officially a secret, there are tons of people who don't know because I told myself there wasn't a pressing reason to tell them. This includes family, ex in-laws, and some friends. :-/

My gender is a bigger secret. No one knows I don't identify as fully female, and I'm still not 100% ready to take about it.

I've lived in this weird limbo for years now, never really knowing who knows what about me. Even though I tell myself I'm not hiding anything, the reality is I totally am. I don't always correct people when they assume I'm straight, and I often censor myself when talking about LGBTQ issues. It's exhausting and I feel like I'm hiding an important part of myself (probably because I am...).

Anyway. Tonight I finally decided I'd just had enough and updated my Facebook profile. Changed my preference to women and my gender to "Whatever". Leaving my pronouns as female... for now.

No one will even see it unless they care to look (though I think it did briefly post it to my timeline before I deleted it??), but it's still there in black and white for all my friends to see.

I've also resigned to start correcting people every time they assume I'm straight.

I'm just over it. I refuse to hide anymore.

Sorry for the ramble, just had to put my thoughts into writing. I this seems like a really minor thing, but for me, it's big.
