🏳️⚧️ I am a transgender girl but I am currently and unfortunately a boy and I don't know how to talk to my parents about it...

At first my mother also had issues with me dressing masculine and she wanted me to shop in the women's section more but I just continued anyway and eventually they stopped so it might work for you as well
