Article Abstract
Despite the risks of rejection and discrimination, "coming out" can be an important psychological milestone for transgender (trans) and gender diverse people (TGD). We evaluated the dimensions of identity that predict coming out to family and friends, and the role of social support in explaining the psychosocial benefits associated with coming out. An online survey was completed by 951 TGD adults, 516 (54.3%) who identify as gender binary (164 transwomen and 352 transmen) and 435 (45.7%) who identify as nonbinary. Overall, gender binary TGD people were more likely than nonbinary people to disclose their identity to family and friends. Hierarchical binary logistic regressions further revealed that appearance congruence and strength of TGD identity are associated with disclosure to family, whereas positive TGD identity is associated with disclosure to friends. Path analyses confirmed that coming out is associated with improved resilience, psychological adjustment, and wellbeing, and that social support is a partial mediator of these associations. The results highlight the importance of coming out in the TGD context and suggest that greater access to social support may account for some of these benefits.

Impartial altruism is often considered a moral ideal but is rare in practice. Instead, generosity typically decreases as social distance increases, a phenomenon termed social discounting. Most people prefer this partiality in their close relationships and view impartial altruists as poorer relationship partners.
