I need some guidance, support and some kind of encouragement. For a very long time I’ve know that I’ve wanted to transition but never have due to the fact that my family is so old school and I’m not sure how they’d react. I’m 30 now and just dying to start transitioning but do not know how to come out to my family. I don’t know how they’d react and even though I truly want to start living for me, I hate that I don’t want to risk losing the relationship I do have with them, primarily and most importantly my parents. There’s a gut feeling that yes they’ll be upset and get over it but also a feeling that I’ll be someone they want no relationship with and that’s what kills me and has made me so insecure about coming out. I just don’t know what to do. A part of me just wants to blurt it all out but other parts want to suppress it and never act on it, or find a way to just gently lay it out there for their convenience. I know I should doing it on my time and my convenience but fear of rejection pulls me into a corner that I don’t know how to get out of… I’ve even thought about finding a way to go on HRT to force me to tell them. any help?
