Hey Kaitlyn, I know just how you feel. I'm ftm and in pretty much the same situation, i let Connor out more and more but I've told my parents and they aren't accepting at all, they're really against the whole idea and everything...
Then again, it depends on they type of people your parents are... they could be cool with it
The best thing to probably do is to wait until your ready. Everything will fall into place at some stage and it'll all be fine
