I came across this recently and thought it was a super interesting and thorough examination of "the closet" or "coming out" of it.

I really like this comic. Aside from being non binary and maybe asexual I'm also autistic, academically gifted and chronically ill (and if you want to stretch it, left handed). I'm in varying stages of coming out for these and for some I heavily resent having to come out. Gender identity is where I feel the worst resentment. If it was more normal to expect people to be queer it would be way less dangerous or not even necessary. The individual incidence of queer identities is rare but if you take all versions of queerness it's not that rare anymore.

Yeah I loved the aspect explaining how the society around us builds the closet, it's not inherently there and we choose to go into it.
