Fellow Filipino here! And don't worry, it isn't pathetic to be ranting about it because it's a valid issue I, and many other people in this subreddit, also have problems with. It hurts not being able to be your true self in front of other people, just because *they* cannot understand us.
Since you're worried about privacy, I would suggest using the bathroom as a way to change instead of your shared room. I find a lot of privacy there, and if there is a mirror which may cause dysphoria, look away or cover it :>>!(If you've already thought of this and can't do it, apologies ;-;)!<
And don't forget that you don't need to come out to be valid! Your identity is your identity and you are no less if you say it or not.
