So in this past week I have learned some things and finally found pronouns and my gender identity.
A gender-nonconforming woman and I prefer the pronouns fea/fea's.
And I have been considering changing my name to a more masculine one.
My friends are queer themselves if not supportive of my change.
But my family is somewhat conservative and I don't know how they will respond.
Should I keep it hidden? And let them keep calling me she/her and only tell my friends?
Any and all advice is appreciated

If you're sure, or even just that your family probably won't accept it, and you're a minor, I wouldn't advise telling them. On the other hand, for example, if the people you live with aren't homophobic and only the rest of your family is, maybe you could tell them (just to give an example, only my mother and sister know about my sexuality, and they live with me and accept it well; the rest of the family is practically all homophobic, so they don't know). I don't know if you understood well, but if the people you live with are homophobic, I don't advise telling them because they're the ones who support you, you understand? Now, if you're of legal age and can support yourself, make your own money, and have your own house, then if I were you, I would tell everyone because they can't do anything about it anymore.
Thx 🙏
