    Does anyone have any last minute tips for coming out as demifluid? My parents know what demigenders are and what genderfluid is already, so I don't need to educate them on what either means yet (though I will probably have to clear up some misconceptions). I already have a list of what I need from them to be happier in my identity and my self expression (like pronoun changes, a gender therapist and stuff), so now all I have to do is.... say it, I guess.

    Wish me luck! I hope I don't lose my nerve last minute.

    Since they already know about what it is and you already have notes on what you need to tell them I think that you are prepared enough. Good luck with it.

    I came out to them a few minutes ago. Mum cried and said something about wanting a girl, but after a few minutes told me that she loved me, and all she needed was some time to adjust. Dad told me that I should think about it more before putting a label on myself.

    just remember that they love you! And even if it comes as a surprise to them, just know that they may be shocked at first, but they still love you the way you are! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more help!
