Exclamation I kind of REALLY need help here - January 22nd 2012, 08:14 PM

Hi. My name's Cody. At least, that's my name to everyone but my family and school teachers.
See, I've identified as male since I was young. But my parents aren't very supportive of it. At all. They honestly prefer to see me as a lesbian female than the straight male I see myself as. And it sort of hurts. A lot.
So, can someone help out? How can I come out to them for real? What's a good way to approach it?
Thanks!

So your Trans?
Sorry, i just got a little confused.
A good way to come out to your parents and make them believe you, is just to be completely serious with them.
When i told them i was pansexual, i said,
"Look mom, i have to tell you something serious, i dont care if you dont approve of it or support me, but im pansexual, and nothing can change that."
So, maybe you should just try sitting down with your parents about it, but only when your completly comfortable and ready for it.
If you need any other help, you can ask me.
Hope this helped

I agree you have to be very serious with your parents. If they don't want to listen, take it a step further. Just don't end up in a situation where you get injured or something. Maybe raise your voice a little bit. I know it doesn't seem like the right thing to do, but it does help soemtimes. Other times, i get extra help like therapy. If you want to talk to me about this, I am here to listen. I wish you the best of luck. Hope everything turns out right for you.

Dude, I get it. You could explain it to them, and talk about how you feel about your gender vs. your sex. I'd also make it very serious about who you are, and not what they see you as...


In a world filled with diversity, I am just another oddity.

I'm a work-in-progress, take it or leave it.

I think you should sit your parents down and tell them that this isn't a phase and this is how you have felt forever. And you know that you were born in the wrong body and you would really like them to understand. I would basically just speak from the heart and I might mention Pflag to them so maybe they can have some support and maybe you could go to plag meetings too to get some support and maybe if they go they will be more understanding.


As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
