Don't do what I did. Just wait until you're in a safe place to come out. I know it's suffocating,but it's the best thing you can do. It's safety.

Alright, thanks.

So you came out to your parents and I assume things didn't go well...?

Didn't go well at all.
And, if you want the truth, my brother made the same mistake was disowned.

It might be hard, but keep it a secret. Move out as soon as you are old enough and have some money and know basic skills needed for adult life. And if they aren't extremely sexist, you can try to grow your hair a bit longer, not too long so they don't notice tho. If they start to get suspicious and think you might be trans or something, then say you just think it looks cool and convicence them to think you're cis.

If you absolutely have to come out, then you should say something to pin it all on them if they insult you or something. The best way is to say something like “The moment you had me, you took up a responsibility of raising me and helping me through problems, and this is a time when I need you to throw personal opinion out the window. I want to look more feminine, I don’t care what you think, if you won’t let me look more feminine is it really taking care of what I need, or is it clouded by your opinions towards LGBTQ?” I wouldn’t consider coming out unless if you feel like you’re stuck and are having serious emotional problems from it. Odds are your parents would still hate you if you came out like this, but you know your parents better, so you could probably form an explanation and almost like a forced acceptance based on what type of people they are and what type of things they listen to, but they could also be parents that don’t listen to their children, so I really don’t know

Well, they would probably disown me that's for sure so I'm just gonna keep it secret.

Come out to them. If they don’t love their OWN FREAKING CHILD for who they are, they don’t even deserve to raise a child.

I might be going a little to far, I tend to feel extreme hatred toward people that don’t accept others for who they are.

Usually ignorance, but not ignorance as in stupid, ignorance as in they haven’t been taught differently, which in this case differently is better because accepting and loving people for who they are is certainly better.

Walt Whitman said:
“We’re all ignorant, just on different subjects.”

So, start a conversation with them and ask “what is it exactly that your afraid of about gays? (LGBTQ)”

When they answer maybe ask
“What makes that true because as far as I can tell the only thing that makes something true or false is me and I could be wrong.”

Communication is so important.
It takes courage tho.

Maybe you’ll be able to educate them 😃❤️‍🩹

I’m never afraid of whatever it is I’m facing, I’m only afraid of what I think about it. ❤️

Good luck too you. You got this 😊

Well, I think you should either never tell them or wait until you've moved out. Just try to grow your hair as long as possible and just tell them that you like it, and maybe wear skirts that look like sweaters tied around your waist.
