slowly “switching it up” (to be almost unnoticeable) is probably better than spontaneously coming out

and unless you run into a particularly virulent bigot I feel like a lot of people will just be like “whatever as long as you are a good worker” once they finally notice, aka not supportive but not firing you for no reason either

Still sucks hugely to have that axe hovering over you, but in a small shop where everyone is already familiar with you, I think there’s better odds than if you’re job hopping regularly
