I went the "easy route" by simply dropping "I'm trans" because I know myself well enough, that I would either chicken out mid sentence, or it would become super awkward.

that's the strat
Only downside is, that some people who aren't that supportive might get a little shocked, especially when theres zero clues about you being trans, and therefore you might experience some quite shitty reactions (happened like that with my mum).
Or they might be confused, especially by the term non-binary… (definitely nothing that happened to me)
Had to explain what this means to my mother too.
honestly, that's a them problem
I kinda want to wait long enough with my parents to a point where it has already become extremely obvious haha.
I wanted to do that too, but it didn't work out. Turns out I really needed to be a total girl all the time.
Damn, yeah I heard people can be completely oblivious when they already know you for a long time. We’ll see!
Surprising how oblivious people can be. With my parents, it took me 6 months to say something. I thought it was kinda obvious I had some changes by that point (small enough that it would be easy to hide but I didn't always wear extra layers) and my brother agreed. After I came out, one of my moms commented that I "suddenly had boobs."
At 8 months, I saw another queer family member for the first time in years, I was wearing a snuggish women's tank top, and I guess she still apparently didn't notice anything either and she was immediately accepting and subtly affirming with no delay or awkwardness.
Looking forward to trying this again with a friend or two now that it's been over a year and it's a bit more obvious.
"Mom, I started taking estradiol and spironolactone" "What for?" "Uhhhh?"
To quote one of my favorite superheroes: "Drugs are great". Good enough as a reason in this case 🤪
Anyone know who the artist is?
Sadly I wasn't able to find them with my searchs :(
