No problem! You could maybe try, if you don’t want to tell them bluntly, you could maybe try asking them almost hypothetically, like what they would think if you weren’t sure who you are.

I have been looking for a thread like this for a while now, and I am so glad to find it.
I have been struggling a bit emotionally lately(mainly in terms of my gender identity.) I’m 14, and have only just come out to my friends at school that I don’t really feel like I know who I am.
I know my parents aren’t even remotely homophobic, I just don’t know how to tell them.
any tips, I want to tell them soon because keeping this from them is taking a major toll on my mental health.
thanks,
Superdog
edit: btw I’m Aussie so I’ll probably not be able to reply immediately.
Uh, I dunno if I could help you.
One of my parents is definitely homophobic, the other isn't but I think they'd take it poorly if one of their family members turned out to be, uh... well. Y'know.
But even if they aren't homophobic, probably think about how they'd take it, 'cause even them not being homophobic doesn't mean they won't have a negative reaction.
Hey, no one can tell you what to be or how to feel, but you. Deosnt matter if you're gay, Trans, bi, pansexual, black, white, whatever. The only approval you need is yourself, be proud of who you are and don't listen to anyone who doesn't like you for who you are.

That's actually exactly how I feel. Well, as for the first, I think people can give advice based on their experiences, but yeah actually flat-out saying you need to be a certain way is off the table.

Yeah. I was just trying to help the best I could.
Yeah, I wasn't saying anything for other people; just saying I'm not really in a position to offer the most relevant advice.

Oh, listen, I've been here, I was in this exact same place last year. My one piece of advice that I would've given to myself then is that: You don't have to have everything figured out. You can be as f*cking choatic as you want to be, just act with what feels natural, you don't need labels to be yourself. You also don't need to know who you are. Trust in yourself.

Neither am I, as a straight AMAB guy.
Don't tell anyone I had to look up both 'AMAB' and what 'straight' meant in this context
Golden. You see, one of the things that parents get to do is embarrass their children. You forget that you had to ask me what trans means when we first met.
