So, I am Agender for some time. There are some close friends that know and support me.
But my mom is having depression and my parents are pretty old. We never talked about gender or sexuality and in our family.
So, I am unsure if I can if I should come out to them.
Well, I wouldn’t recommend coming out straight away if you aren’t sure it’s safe. Perhaps you could try bringing up LGBTQIA+ topics or watching media featuring queer characters, and seeing how your parents react?
Even if they’re claiming to be open it can still be dangerous. My mom who claimed tolerance suddenly was devastated when i came out because it’s different if it’s the own child. It took half a year of convincing and now she’s the biggest ally but the start was tough
Yeah, I fear that with my mother too
I maybe start slow as you suggest bringing up topics
