I think this is the right place to put this?

I basically came out to my friends again and it went pretty okayish (via WhatsApp status so not everyone saw/replied).
Gonna try and come out, but will probably try and send it when I'm at school or something because I'm scared they'll come in and lecture me (or at least my mum, she did something like it last time) or talk to my therapist (if i get one) about sending it.

I came out to them before but I feel like they didn't understand and forgot, and my mum said that "I've always been girly since recently"

If that makes sense

Hmm now this is a bit tough but maybe talk it out with your parents again, get them completely focused on you, try to make it feel like a calm situation and make it like a PowerPoint presentation on your laptop or tablet idk
You should be able to speak to your parents y'know?

If they say mean things saying stuff like "oh but you're always gonna be a girl!" or "oh but there's only 2 genders!" Every parent says the same thing, just remember that they're scared of change, the only thing that they should be worried about is if you're mad at them for not understanding ok?

welp that was all the advice I had for the situation with your parents

Thank you, last time I wrote an essays worth snd I'm kind of doing it again except maybe more in depth?
I'm not good with summarising so I'm hoping it's good enough.

It makes sense, honestly. I went through something really similar. When I first came out, my mom didn’t like the idea at all. She was confused, said things that made it feel like she didn’t really understand me, and at one point I thought she might never accept it. That hurt a lot, especially because I just wanted to be seen for who I am.

But over time, things changed. It wasn’t overnight. There were awkward conversations, silence, and moments where I had to stand firm in who I am. Slowly, she started to realize that this isn’t a phase or something influenced by anyone else. It’s just me. And once she saw that I was still the same person, still her child, she softened and made peace with it.

So it’s okay to be scared and cautious right now. Confidence grows with time, and parents often need that time too. Your mom may not fully get it yet, but that doesn’t mean she won’t. You are allowed to be who you are, and you deserve love exactly as you are.
