Heh, it is loaded, and a bit general. Even within the Muslim community, my experience isn’t at all universal or representative. Being one is restrictive, for me, my parents are fairly conservative religiously so I don’t plan to come out, but they also emphasized school first for all their kids, daughter or son, and let us have the freedom to develop our own minds, so my path was a lot easier than a lot of other people’s, Muslim or not.
Outside of family, it’s also tough because it’s two identities that are so at odds. It’s difficult to find support for one, let alone both at the same time, and in fact there are people from both sides that specifically hate the other. And it doesn’t at all feel like at least you’re getting support from both those sides individually, it just feels like you’re hated by both.
