Telling my parents I’m trans

[main palm]

I don’t know how to, I keep coming up with plans but I never go through with them, even though I know for sure they will be supportive. I’m hoping they’ll start the conversation, I’ve been leaving signs around: trans coloured desktop background, she/her on Discord and GitHub, but they haven’t noticed yet I think. I really want them to start using she/her for me. Another issue is that they aren’t the most serious people, they are often quite silly and make jokes, sometimes slightly homo/transphobic but like they don’t really mean it.

coming out doesn't have to be a big thing (if you don't want it to be). you could just say, "hey, I wanted to let guys know that I'm trans and I want you to use she/her pronouns on me!" and maybe if you want you could explain your identity a bit more if they don't understand it :] there's no need to worry because you know they're supportive!! if you don't want to directly tell them, the hints you left around are pretty big so they might notice soon! I hope they do! I wish you the best of luck on this :]

I'm going through the same problem as you and I've been using She/They pronouns online for a bit now too. These are the options I would recomend.

1. (This is if your a nervous person) okay basicly start leaving as many signs maybe even dress a little more fem if you can Ik its not easy. And then literaly this is the hardest part and it may take a while for them to notice and then they will ask about it and thats when yoy say "Mum, Dad I'm trans...and it would really help if you would not take this like a joke and start using she/her for me...

2. (This is if your not nervous) one day just sit your parents down and just say im trans and it would help my mental health if you would use she/her prounouns for me...
