Deeper meaning of "Coming out" Part 2

This is my second  attempt  at writing a blog about "coming out. "  

In this blog, I am  exploring five words that are linked to "coming out." These words are: going out, reaching out, moving out, leisure and taking out a person.These words that can be linked to one's "coming out" rite of passage.

When one is coming out,they may choose places that are known as safe spaces.These safe spaces maybe shelters, resource centers, parks, re-creation centers, clubs, bars, restaurants and homes.

Going out;

These are the places they go to, here they meet people of the same sexuality, orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics. So, this is describing situations of people who may not identify themselves as heterosexual.This does not mean that heterosexuals do not have sexuality, orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics issues.

Reaching out;

This is when people who identify themselves with similar sexuality, orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics reach out to each other. When they do this they seek comfort, friendships, love, support, encouragement, empowering, assurance, affirmation, pleasure and sex debut (gay debutantes or heterosexual debutantes).

Moving out/in;

This is when people who are gay or heterosexual debutantes have decided to exclusively live together under the same roof. When they live under the same roof, they under go bonding, they choose practical roles and chores to at their homes to make comfy.

Leisure;

This is when people who have  actualized themselves seek out means to engage in re-creation activities. This may range from get together parties, picnics, travels to holiday destinations, clubbing, indoor games, reading clubs, cooking clubs, beer/wine tasting, charity works and community based activities.

Taking someone/self out;

This is a deliberate action of going to certain leisure destinations as part of affirming sexuality, orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics. In this situation people wish to go out individually or take with them colleagues, mates, friends, allies and family.

The above situations i.e going out, reaching out, moving out, leisure and taking out a person are prerequisites, conditions and media for coming out to be fully actualized.

Deeper meaning of coming out

There is a way we use words in our daily life. Such words like going out, reaching out, moving out, leisure, having fun, coming out... But what exactly do these words mean to our daily life?

In this blog I am attempting to define the word  "coming out. "

What's does coming out to you mean ?coming out to me means engaging in activities that enable you find out the fuller self and life.

When I was growing up, I was told that only perfumed lotions are meant only for females. But, now I realize grown up men use perfumed lotions.

This one of the reasons made me come up with this blog "Mawejje's exposee about life. "

Sometime we tend to know the definition of the words that we use in our day to day life.

Then we think, we really know their deeper meaning. Most of the time we force others to engage in activities or practices that fulfill the meaning of these words.

This is what informs norming.

Norming is forcing one's ideas, activities and practices on others not leaving any room for alternatives other than yours.

Men use perfumes and lotions but these same men when they were younger they were told these perfumes and lotions are for women.

Women can be engineers or motorbike riders. But, how many were told that only males become engineers or  motorbike riders?

How many of you, who are males we told that certain things are for females and vice versa?

So, when we use certain words we should be conversant with certain facts such as word meaning or context meaning. In this blog I have shown the extent of the meaning that one can draw out of the word "coming out!"
