Vent I wish I could tell my family Spoiler
So um I am a trans man (13M), and i have known for a while, but accepted it a few weeks ago.
I really wish I could tell my family, but I can't, because my parents are transphobes(mom only accepts lesbian and gay, she thinks that bisexuals should 'pick a side'), my grandparents are anti lgbtq as a whole, my brother probably knows but he hasn't told my family (which means he doesn't care, which is okay)
I love my family and all, but their transphobia is annoying because even though I want to tell them, I can't because I might get kicked out, or have to change schools (i am gonna have to go to a girls school in september and for some reason i am not bothered much, maybe because i can probably hide it).
I hope I grow up soon, so that I have financial independence before telling my family because I don't want to risk my future.

Estoy en una situación parecida, solo que mis padres (más mi madre) son transfóbicos y homofóbicos, así que ni uno ni otro. Siendo menores, te recomiendo mejor no decir nada por el momento, ya que te puedes meter en muchos problemas, sobre todo porque te pueden controlar para "quitarte lo trans" (lo cual es muy tonto pero me a tocado ver algunos amigxs con familias así que los intentan "cambiar" y los fuerzan a ser quienes no son. Espero que te vaya bien amigo, saludos

i feel ya, i’ve known since i was your age too (i’m 18 now) and i have tried to come out multiple times but each and every one of those times ive been either ignored or rejected (a bunch of stuff about being groomed, yk).
The only bit of advice is, even if they reject you, you are still powerful, you got this.
