My advice to any and all of you would be:
Don’t tell your religious parents you’re an atheist/have joined another religion until after you move out.
Don’t tell your homophobic parents you’re gay until after you move out.
Don’t tell your transphobic parents you’re trans until after you move out.
Don’t feel invalidated in your identity because you have not told you parents. Sometimes your family are the last people that should be informed. Your safety is so much more important.
My advice is that if you have shitty but not quite abusive parents, gray rock them until you move out. Keep interactions as pleasant and short and surface-level as you can manage.
