#How do I come out to my parents (n'as indirectly everyone in my family)

Do you know what their outlook on trans stuff is/ how they react to trans issue/media/etc?
They kind of, do not care yk ? Like they know it's there but they act like it's something so distant that doesn't concern us
Ah okay
Maybe try just talking to them either individually or together, I'd recommend just telling them outright with something along the lines of: "hey I wanted to tell you I'm trans and I'm actually a girl." And then tell them what name/pronouns you want them to use. Don't try to explain absolutely everything, instead let them ask the questions when they come to them and just answer whatever they ask truthfully.
Okay... (that seems a bit scary but I'll have to be a strong girl I guess)
Or another option is that like you could text them about it and talk later, though the anticipation of the talking part of that one is something that's hard for some people.
If you have the kind of relationship where you joke with them and talk in memes and such you can also try just throwing it into a related conversation like "pov seeing this as a trans girl" or smt and just not elaborate until you're more comfortable later
It's scary but you're stronger, and if they're accepting it'll be alright once you get it over with. Sometimes you just gotta take the leap
They're my parents not my siblings or friends ;-; I
