Well

[pastel cedar]

I want to tell my parents that I'm nonbinary soon but don't know how I've already told my mum I'm bi (should probably tell my dad soon). I need advice on how to tell them

[nimble bough]

Well about the bi one, maybe you can ask you mom to tell ur dad that ur bi, if you don't want to have to do it yourself. And for enby you can also probably tell her the same way you did about being bi

[pastel cedar]

I might use pins to do it

[pastel cedar]

Kinda impossible to do it that way because my mum asked me if i liked boys or girls randomly

[brazen topaz]

that's what I did, but the other way around. I told my father that I like guys, and then asked him to tell my mom a few days later. I was 100% certain that they would be supportive and not look at me any differently.

[brazen topaz]

just curious, but what prompted her to ask you that question?
also I take it that she asked this after you came out to her.

[pastel cedar]

I don't actually know what made her ask she jusr asked me if i had a girlfriend or boyfriend so i responded no and she asked what i like and i said both

[brazen topaz]

how did she react to you saying that you liked both?

[pastel cedar]

She said "so like your sister"

[brazen topaz]

so your sister is also bisexual?

[pastel cedar]

Probably should have remembered that

[pastel cedar]

Yes

[brazen topaz]

ok, and your parents are supportive of her?

[pastel cedar]

Yes

[brazen topaz]

have any of them talked about trans or nonbinary people in a negative way?

[pastel cedar]

My mum has said out if the blue that she'd support me if i was trans so i don't need to worry there

My dad has given mixed signals to say the least

[brazen topaz]

so it seems like your mother would be supportive of you being nonbinary at the very least

[pastel cedar]

Yea

But my dad is where i don't understand

Because he's been comfortable around trans people but has used certain words

Like friendly around trans people

I don't know if he's supportive and I'm so confused about it

[brazen topaz]

mixed signals like that is very difficult

[pastel cedar]

I don't know how to get an accurate read of his supportiveness (if that's a word) like what can i actually do without giving it away

[pastel cedar]

How would you go about deciphering it

[brazen topaz]

idk, especially because everyone sends out mixed signals in different ways

[pastel cedar]

sorry for the wait but that's just how people are

by that i mean difficult

not you i mean my dad is difficult

[brazen topaz]

Parents can be difficult.

For me, I find my mother to be more difficult, and especially very pushy

Fortunately, both my parents are very loving and supportive of me

[pastel cedar]

Odds are that my dad is supportive but I'm not risking until i know for sure

[pastel cedar]

Ok so he's given a good sign recently

[nimble bough]

That's great. Was it something positive he said about someone or like an opinion he has about something or..?
