Hey guys (and gals). I need help. Bad.
For most of my life I've been struggling with my identity, and suffering from crippling dysphoria and self-hate as I constantly tried to convince myself that I am perfectly happy in a body that I feel alien in, lying about who I am to my family, and being terrified that if I slipped up my father, who insists that Transgendered people are mentally Ill because transphobic doctors say we are, and a born again Christian mother who, while tolerant, is incredibly judgemental, I'd be disowned or...Something.
This... Is the first post that wasn't on an anonymous website where I identity myself as trans, so I guess I'm just coming out now, to you guys.
I need advice on how to come out to my family. I'm living with my father ATM because recent things in my life have forced me to move back in with him, and I'm terrified he'll kick me out if I come out as trans in an impulse moment.
I know I can confide in my two older sisters, and my favorite aunt and grandparents (The later three, despite being Catholics, seemed to be aware that something was different about me and wanting to be there no mater what. My aunt even basically making a condition that she would marry her husband, but only if that if I need a safe place, I would be able to be there. (And she has provided it three times now, when my mother who has PTSD and other horrible issues became impossible to live with.)), but I don't know how to approach it in a way that would make sense to them.
I hate asking this on a roleplaying website, but I don't know what to fucking do.
