So I've known that I'm genderfluid for well over 2 years now but I'm afraid to come out to them because i don't think they'll understand. There's also the issue that I'm only 13 and I've tried to tell them before/bring up the subject but they've told me I'm 'too young to understand that stuff'. About a year and a half ago I talked about wanting a different name and they both tried to convince me that my deadname could pass as a gender neutral/masc name but I don't think it could. I've already come out to my sister but that's because she came out to me first lol. I'm just looking for tips on how to tell them and an easy-ish way to explain what being genderfluid means to my parents
#guys how do I explain to my parents (both turning 46 this year) that I'm genderfluid??

I mean, if they say your too young then i would tell them that you have done loads of research and that you can relate a lot. For changing your name, I think you could lie/tell them that your friends gave you that nickname. If it doesn't work then idrk either sorry, I tried to help.

How much do they know about being trans or nonbinary? If they're somewhat educated, it might be easy to explain that you feel like different genders sometimes, and want to try and go by a different name for a bit.
