Immerse yourself in the queer community and have conversations. It’ll help you change your mindset around identity and all that which will help you to accept yourself. One big thing for me is what I call the line of acceptability which is what I can consider acceptable. Rn for me the standards to be acceptable are 1. Is it consensual and 2. Is it hurting anyone who did not consent.

That was not always the case for me, but it takes a while to learn the difference between “this makes me uncomfortable” and “people are actually being hurt by this” but once you can it makes a lot of the homophobia and transphobia arguments invalid because so many of them are, intentionally or not, mixing up things that make you uncomfortable with harmful and unacceptable things
