    I started a new club two months ago and I'm gonna have to room with a teammate on our end of year overnight tournament. I'm Gender nonconforming and gay. I have certain habits that help with dysphoria that would be impossible to hide from a room mate. I really want to come out to them but I don't want it to be some big thing. I live in place where it's not cool being homophobic but being gay is something for James Charles and Ellen not for actual people they know. Any Advice would be highly appreciated.

    Do you have a choice of who you can room with? If so, I would try to get a room with somebody that you feel comfortable telling.

    Popper12.....Hi and hello again! You say that you have started a soccer club. Does that mean there is no coach? If there is a coach you should consider having a talk with them first to get a better feeling of how to handle the situation. Just my thoughts...
