Ive been wanting to keep this a secret for the longest time. But I guess coming out here is a safe place... So during the summer of 2025 I felt something wrong with my body, like I didn't belong in a male body anymore. I felt like everytime I look in my mirror I don't feel like a male anymore, I feel like I should be a female, but the problem is my Latino Dad is old school so me coming out to him is a HUGE RISK for me, so how can I show signs that I want to be a Transfem? Like subtle signs I'm only 13 so I genuinely don't know how to be able to have him accept me for being trans.

by huge risk do you mean you don’t know how he would react or do you know he would react negatively?
your safety comes first - if you’re in danger of being kicked out, abused, etc, you should wait until you’re 18 and not dependent on him financially
if you’re not sure, you can start by testing the waters around him. bring up lgbtq topics or you could put on a movie that had a trans character and see how he reacts

uhh tell him but I come from a Latino/spanish background at they aren’t gonna take this lightly just letting you know. Like you do you but consider what it could do to your parents since ik my Latino parents are religious but luckily accepting of it

Nah you just don’t know the Latino family struggles. Idk about this dude but I’m my own experience coming out as a Latino is already hard enough
Also ik this sounds mean but you can’t force someone you love closely to accept you. Like they aren’t obligated to and you have to respect that
