tips for trans peeps

coming out 1 (is it safe?)

I came out as nonbinary (I don't identify as it anymore, but I used to) when I found out. I was not scared back then. Same with my sexuality. My mom and I were on our way home from my (at the time) girlfriends place when she asked me, "So, (Deadname)... Do you like her as more than a friend?" And I said, "Mom, we have been dating for 3 weeks now." So that is how I came out. I'm lucky with supportive parents, but not everyone is. So first, you need to find out if you live in a supportive household. That is possible by following the next few steps:

1. Look around for pride flags.
If you find a pride flag in your house, congrats, your family is supportive. you dont need to continue the list of steps.

2. Listen around for clues.Maybe you will hear something about your uncles wedding with his husband or something. If you hear something that is supporting LGBTQ+, congrats, your family is supportive. You dont need to continue the list of steps (If you hear something bad, skip to 5)

3. Ask less close famlie/family you know is supportive.Ask what your parents think about queerness. If your family member says something bad about it, then you can skip to 5, but if they say that they support, then congrats, your family is supportive. You don't need to continue the list of steps.

4. Ask about recent queer news.There is (almost) always some bad queer news. So ask about what they think about the recent gay kid that k1lled themself (or something like that) If your parents talk bad about it then skip to 5, if they say they feel sorry for the kid/that queer people get hated on so much, congrats your family is supportive. You dont need to continue the list of steps.

5. Take drastic measures.This is a last resort. Ask what they would think if you said you're queer. This is basically coming out to them, so only do this if you have a safe place to go to if they kick you out, because as sad as it is, it might happen, and it happens to many for some reason. If they say they would accept you, then congrats, your family is supportive. You don't need to continue the list of steps. If they say something mean like that they would disown you, then move on to number 6.

6. Don't.If you made it this far, I am so sorry to tell you, but your parents are not supportive. It's best/most safe to stay in the closet.
