I don't care who answers this, but anyone who knows about gender identity would help. I've been thinking about my gender a lot, and I think that I'm trans. I don't know how to tell my friends, and even worse, my family, because though my friends understand this kind of stuff, my parents don't. I just need help to be able to explain and be able to come out about this. They know I'm pan (which they dont think is real) so I'm scared they'll think that I'm just trying to get attention. I need help
Go with whatever makes you feel safe and happy, your happiness and you feeling safe should be the most important thing to them!
A lot of parents might not understand, even try to push you away from it, however, don’t be swayed because they don’t understand. Teach them to understand and persuade them that it’s what makes YOU happy!
It might not be easy sailing but focus on yourself, not how others see you. Finding yourself can be hard and it may take time but don’t lose hope, I promise you’ll be happy in the end!
