Line 4:
Individuals do not have to "come out" if they have a [[conformant]] identity, as that is what society expects. "Coming out" about being [[cisgender]], [[straight]], [[monosexual]], [[allosexual]], [[alloromantic]], [[Monogamous|monoamorous/monogamous]], [[Pronoun Conforming|pronoun-conforming]], [[Gender-Conforming|gender-conforming]], [[cissex]], and/or [[dyadic]] can come across as offensive and mocking towards queer individuals, as coming out for someone that is queer can put them at risk for abuse/harassment/assault and in some locations can face torture/imprisonment/death.
Coming out should not be a necessary act to live authentically, as all queer identities should be normalized, however - until they are normalized - it is an act/decision that will continue to be made by queer individuals.
Ways to normalize queer experiences include educating others on them, raising children with the knowledge of queer experiences ([[Gender-Neutral Parenting|gender-neutral parenting]] and [[Non-Conformant Parenting|non-conformant parenting]]), and creating representation in media/fictional sources where coming
Some identities/experiences/traits one may have to come out about include the following:
*Being [[gay]] ([[lesbian]]/[[vincian]]/[[gai]]), [[gae]], [[Multisexual|m-spec]], [[A-Spec|a-spec]], or having other marginalized attractions (such as being [[autosexual]], [[autoromantic]], [[objectum]], etc.)
*Having a [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary identity]]/experiencing tertiary attractions (such as having [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]], [[Alterous Attraction|alterous]], or other lesser-recognized attractions.)
*Being [[Ethical Non-Monogamy|ethically non-monogamous (ENM)]] or having an otherwise marginalized relationship (ie: [[Casual Relationship|casual relationships]], [[Breakup-Buddies|breakup-buddies]], [[Intimaship|intimaships]], [[Wavership|waverships]], etc.)
*Being [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming (GNC)]] or [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conforming (PNC)]].
*Being [[transgender]]/[[cisn't]] ([[transfeminine]], [[transmasculine]], [[transneutral]], [[transandrogynous]], the [[Non-Binary|non-binary spectrum]], [[Xenogender|xenogenders]], etc.)
*Being [[intersex]]/having an intersex variation.
*Being [[altersex]]. This could be an altersex identity that is possible to achieve through surgery, (such as [[afabris]]) or an altersex identity that is not (yet) possible to achieve through surgery (such as [[Xenogenital|xenogenitals]].)

* [[System|Plural]] folks tend to experience a lot of a lot of invalidation, backlash, and mockery and in many cases abuse/harassment due to being a system/existing. In many cases, this causes systems to have a required coming out experience in order to live authentically.
* [[Alterhuman]] individuals tend to experience a lot of invalidation, backlash, and mockery for their internal sense of identity. In many cases, this causes alterhumans to have a required coming out experience in order to live authentically.

▲* [[Furries]] tend to experience a lot of invalidation, backlash, and mockery due to their interests and internal sense of identity, especially for sexual furries. In many cases, this causes furries to have a required coming out experience in order to live authentically.
The identities/experiences listed above also tend to overlap with the queer community in many cases.
