    So uh... I've come out to most of my friends and one of my teachers, but not any of my family members. Communication is especially hard with my parents, since they can't speak English and I can't speak Korean very well (or well enough to express how deeply I feel about this subject). My mom is the kind of person who thinks it's okay for other people to be queer, as long as they're not family (stupid, right?). I have managed to cut my hair short and buy "boy's" clothing, and my friend secretly bought me a binder, but my mom constantly nags me about looking too masculine. I get mistaken as a cis boy often, and she gets pretty angry about it. How should I come out? I've been meaning to for a long time, maybe 3 years, but I'm only 14 and completely dependent on my family. Help...
