So, it's been a while since I actually came out to my parents, but I though i'd post my story here anyway. So far everyone in my life has been accepting of the fact that I am transgender, and well, I feel really grateful that they have. Day one of coming out: The first person I came out to was my best friend, and I told her that I was questioning my gender identity when we were on out way back from a near by town and she was surprisingly accepting of it and told me she'd be there if wanted to come out to my parents. Day Two: So the next day I finally mustered up enough courage (which wasn't much) to tell my Mom, and so my friend came over and we hung out a bit thinking of ways for me to come out (she came for moral support). I was really nervous, and could probably have done it better, but I did it, and she eventually came to accept me for who I am (though at first she though it was psychosis... -_-). I later came out to my dad and I think he's still in the denial phase understanding the "new" me. I haven't really come out to anyone else besides my LGBT+ club, family, and best friend yet as i'm still trying to cut ties with an extremely homophobic/transphobic hometown.
It's great you have such a supportive friend and mom! Your dad'll come around eventually, just give it time c:
