Just because you're trans or gay, etc, doesn't mean you can do anything less than a straight person. It will not hold you back for what you want to be. Lots of people think that being LGBT is a set back but it isn't.

3. Remove Expectations

Don't expect people to understand at the beginning. Don't expect people to accept you right off the bat. It's not that easy to get it. As soon as you come out, it's not like everyone will accept you in 5 seconds.
