Telling my parents

[still turret]

How do you come out as trans to your parents? What do you say? How can you work up the nerve to actually say it?

And i dont know how they would react

Especially in a time where the media is telling them we want to hurt Cisgender women

[stray blaze]

So you are a born man identifying as a woman right?

[stray blaze]

Just confirming to give advice

[still turret]

Yup

Im Amab

Though its pretty bad

My sister knows and she still deadnames me because “its too much” for her

[eternal viper]

She has no right to do that. Sounds like she's making no effort and she refuses to.

[still turret]

I have tried telling her off for it but then she brings up the point of when im gonna tell my parents and that shuts me up

[eternal viper]

That's abusive.

And once you come out to your parents, that's not going to work.

[still turret]

Great

But now we are back at square one

How do we do that?

[still turret]

😭

[cursive spire]

just say it and then if they say no kill then

[still turret]

I dont think i can LEGALLY do that

[still turret]

I still need help girly pops 😭

None of this information has actually helped me

Because i dont think i can “kill my parents”

[still turret]

Ideally i would like this advice... soonish?

[broken hedge]

Okay Rosie. Here's what I personally did when I came out to my friends and family

So I kinda asked them if they would accept if I was... Then a couple days later after knowing if they would I said I was demisexual

To which my mom actually ran over and hugged me, thanking me for telling her

[stray blaze]

Soo umm, how liberal are you're parents

Like are they supportive of the lgbtqia community?

[median pebble]

good idea, can we do mine too-

[still turret]

If i knew, wouldnt need to ask here

They are grey.

[stray blaze]

Ooof

[still turret]

They have defended a gay person from my homophobic brother only because “They have gay cousin and hes nice”

[stray blaze]

Maybe, first tell them about another (imaginary person) going through the same thing as you

[stray blaze]

Atleast they defended the gay person

[still turret]

They would just tell me to ask online

[stray blaze]

Get their reaction

[still turret]

Or ask someone who knows what they are talking about

[stray blaze]

Not an answer, get their reaction

Like are they shocked, surprised or smthg

[still turret]

They are aware i hang with queer people, they dont care

[stray blaze]

And then tell

[still turret]

I wouldnt get a usable reaction

[stray blaze]

Ooof

That is very grey

Why don't you just outright tell them tho
They seem reasonable
