Unfortunately, the landscape has gotten very hostile for your situation. You need to be careful about where you ask questions, and what sort of paper trail you might be leaving. It may limit your choices down the road.

Tragically, this might mean that you cannot discuss it with your family, friends, or even a doctor. You might also want to put effort into disguising your searches, lest they become evidence against you.

Of course, if you’re from a more civilized country than the US, you can disregard all of the above.
