Dywwik Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I came out to both my parents seperatly about me being Non-binary. I don't really remember how it all came along because it was during or shortly after the divorce. ​​​​​​My mom, without being irrespectful doesn't really understand. My dad on the other hand uses both genders when talking to me and the first time he called me miss (he opened the door and said "ladies first") I felt really happy because I knew he understood! ​ MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A User Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 im only like 30% out. im out to my best friend, who's actually queer herself, and she accepts me and uses my preferred name too! im also out to the GSA at school, and occasionally to teachers if they ask for name n pronouns it honestly is contextual bc if i came out to my parents now they'd be unaccepting id wager so im not risking a lot if i move out for uni/college ill be a bit more out i bet so yeah not rlly but am trying im quite indifferent to my birthname (not the feminine terms tho, those suck to hear. hate being called a maam) so i can hold out MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoajR Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Erm sort of came out as my gender thing to best friend... At first I was transmasc but I figured I was genderfluid since I still felt girly sometimes, but it was honestly on and off instead of molded, so my bsf was chill about it when I came out as transmasc and some other friends were too and we were all just normal but then I left that school, but still was in contact with bsf, so later on told him I was genderfluid and he was really happy bc he could tell it was who I was happy being and that I could be myself. Never coming out to anyone but friends tho, it'd be a disaster. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxTheMasc Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I have come out to my dad about being trans, but never got to talk to my mom about it... He was very accepting of me and we make harmless jokes about that and my sexuality. I know some people don't have the same experience I had... If I had told my she would have probably abused me (more)... MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyotea Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I’ve come out to a few people, my irl friends. And they’ve all been great and accepting. One of them was actually when I was asking one of them for their pronouns. When we first met I immediately go we that they had to be queer in some form or fashion. We were on a call and we were talking about stupid gendered things and after a while I was thinking “this kid has to be not cis-“ And then afterwards I texted them and asked their pronouns! They said “oh my goodness thank you so much for asking, my preferred pronouns are They/them! “ and whatnot and then they asked me in return and I said “Oh! I use he/they!” (I hadn’t started to use neo pronouns yet) and then we both were really happy to have a queer friend in each other. It was super wholesome and great. I still get giddy thinking about it. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
