I need help coming out to my family and friends

[floral mulch]

I’ve identified trans/genderfluid and lesbian for a year or two now and I don’t have the courage to tell anyone, it’s been hard to tell anyone, especially my friends. My friends often clown on the LGBTQ+ community because that’s sort of the normal at my school. Telling my friends would be really weird and I would likely have to find new friends, which I am not good at. My family is mostly chill about it but it would still be weird, as I have already came out as trans before, but took it back before I identified as trans again.

Please help. It would be greatly appreciated.

I know where you're coming from. I had the same struggle as a Transmasc. I was just firm and straight to the point. It's hard to gather courage, and they sound like fake friends. Just tell them when you feel is right.

Don’t think it’s weird, it’s normal for people to think about it that way though, but still it’s not gonna benefit you and it’s probably gonna make you hold back, instead try and sit down with them and discuss your journey and why you became the way you are today, you don’t wanna come off to firm or anything rude, you still want to be nice and want their acceptance and love, if you want my example I would say, “hey mom/dad or both, I’m (…) and I wanted to tell you when I found out but I thought it was weird to do so, I hope you can still accept me for who I am,” and then maybe explain how your journey started, if they ask questions, answer them, it’s normal for them too, my mom asked me questions, but don’t be scared that’s gonna make it harder to come out
