Haven’t come out to any of them yet. They’re all pretty devout Catholics and live in a red state, and my brother has repeated some of the “the schools are teaching the kids to be trans” bullshit, so I don’t have high hopes for any of them being supportive. I think coming out would probably mean most, if not all, of them stop talking to me. They’re likely to be the last ones I ever come out to

    That's rough mate and I feel for you. Do you have support from other people?

    Thanks 💜

    And I do, kind of. I’m out to my therapist, who is phenomenal and super supportive, and my wife, who is mostly supportive. And I came out as NB to a few of my friends a couple years ago, but I have yet to catch them up on the trans femme part

    That's great! I'm really glad such key people accept the true you

    Thanks! My therapist is great, but things are still kind of bumpy with my wife. She’s super supportive of me being non-binary, but she’s really uneasy about the trans part of it. So right now I’m in this awkward position of trying to figure out what exactly what my transition goals are, while agonizing over how much I might potentially alienate my wife (who is my best friend in the world) and my family, if what I want is “too far”.
