So I've known I'm enby for a bit of time now, but everyone I know irl is transphobic and enbyphonic (I don't think that's a term but anyways), but I fucking despise it when my parents call me a male. What do I do?
Yes, i'm sure my parents are very transphobic, I've heard them countless times saying some... things... abt trans and enby people and the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole.

Sometimes it’s best to keep things private for the right time. Right now they are transphobic and if you live with them I’d wait to till you’re ready to be treated different. To them it’s like you’re disrespecting their beliefs (even if those beliefs are shit) obviously don’t hide who you are, and if your parents truly love and care about you I wouldn’t see how this would change the way they see you.

Hello, Im ever so sorry to hear about your family, in your situation it might be safer to not come out, and to explore your expression in your room perhaps or when they aren’t around, maybe record voice notes for yourself of scenarios where your identity is validated, calling you by a new name or by your correct pronouns ect, you could use your mom/dads clothes to dress up in to explore your expression if you want to (I know it sounds a bit cringe) Im wondering what would help you ?
