Im Trans-Female with no clue how to come out

[violet sinew]

I've felt this way since 8, I convinced myself it was a phase for nearly a decade, repressing feelings but I know now it's not. While my family is accepting, I still can't shake the fear, as they all have their own political and ideological agendas that they'll want me to adhere to. Like if I tell them they'll say it's fine as long as I follow certain rules, which just means they don't accept me. What do I do?

I wouldn’t know what to do exactly but just be yourself parents will be parents trust me my parents keep telling me that if I were LGBTQ+ it would just be a phase but here I am trans (female to male) and gay

Tell them about how their reaction/opinions make you feel. Don't hide your true identity from them. You deserve to be able to tell them, and for them to be proud of you. I take it that you want to come out to them, and if they do try to force these rules on u, then ask about maybe trying to make a compromise/telling them how their 'special rules' make you feel.

Thanks mate, I appreciate the insight, I'll do so this weekend when they're off work.
