@molten fulcrum Hello! I have a few trans friends (I am not trans so idk if this will help). Okay so first, if you feel pressured to come out, then dont come out yet! Wait for when you don’t feel pressured! I think depending on your parents, most will be hesitant sadly. However, they may not call you by the pronouns you want to be called just yet! Let’s also make sure this is a for sure thing that you definitely know you are trans! My friend (trans guy) says “make sure they clarify it’s not a phase, and that they’re aware of what being transgender means. Their parents WILL say it’s a phase, or they’re too young, or maybe they’ll change their mind later. Make sure to tell your parents in a comfortable space.” My friend also says that personally his parents aren’t supportive with the pronouns. Just name. So if they take a while to call you by the name (if you changed it) they probably don’t support. It took my friend’s mom to call him by his new name after 4 years. I’m very sorry if this doesn’t help! Most of this was just my friend’s personal experience!
