I don't understand why coming out is necessary or is identified as The Final Step In Being Queer?

Like I'm a low dysphoric trans nonbinary with a queer sexuality and if I start explaining what I am to my family they wouldn't – 1) get it, even if I explain a lot, and 2) turn out to be queerphobic which is just unnecessary.

My family, at the core, do understand that I'm something different, and without the very few times they pressure me to conform to my sex they are extremely open-minded and don't care about any of that.

There are people out there who absolutely can't survive if they don't come out, and I understand their struggle and empathise with them. However, I'm not one of them. I don't have any problem with letting my relationship with my family go as it is, rather, coming out might cause unnecessary problems that I don't want. I am loud and proud at my college, but I just want to live my life quietly at my home. I don't think it makes me any less queer for that.

So this is a validation post for me, I guess, and for anyone who can come out but don't want to so as to not disturb the peace. I don't think many people will agree with my views, but writing them out is so freeing. Also, if you're someone who shares my feelings on the above, hey, you're not alone!
