Hiiii! So, I'm a nonbinary transmasc person and here are some tips. So about the binder thing, tbh I js use sports bras (my parents are transphobic and won't let me get one) and as for the pronouns, if they're real ones, they'll call you what you wanna be called. Don't stress about mocking, just block them and leave them if they mock you. Be open and straightforward also be firm but not mean. You got this! Good luck on your transition and know you are validdddd!!!! 💛🤍💜🖤

Hey guys! I'm in a bit of a situation. My parents think I'm just nonbinary but I'm also trans and I don't know how to tell them.
Background: My parents (Very catholic mom, not really religious dad), aren't really supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and now that I've been sure for a really long time I need to come out to them. I don't know how though and I'm scared they'll judge me or yell at me or something. They have both disrespected my they/them pronouns and so I'm scared of adding on he/him pronouns as well. But they've also made it clear that they'll love me no matter what and I am just so confused about how to tell them. Have any ideas?

How do I come out to my religious (and heterosexist) parents?
I’m a omnisexual (all genders but have a preference) and demisexual (all genders but have to be friends first) girlflux (hard to explain but my gender is not static [I may feel like a girl one moment and nonbinary the next. I change between the two]). I use she/they pronouns (I’m fine with she/her and they/them). I’ve been this for the past year or so and have been apart of the LGBTQ+ community for 3 years. I’ve been trying to come out for around 2 and a half years but I’m scared. And since I’ve waited so long, I have to now tell them that I’m not straight, not TECHNICALLY a girl, my pronouns, that I’m not religious, ANDD I’m dating. I need to tell them before more stuff adds on. But how?

How do you come out to your parents that you are a femboy?
I found out that I was a femboy 6 months ago and I wanted some girl clothing. I’ve been wanting to ask my parents for some but that would be weird. I wanted to come out but I don’t know how to. Help?
