Came out to my mum, but will need to at some point come out to my dad.

Problem is, my dad, is straight up chronically online and is transphobic. Maybe not quite michael knowles transphobic but he thinks the whole thing is ridiculous and is just a fetish.

I'm planning to come out to my brother (who definitely isnt transphobic) before hand, to get as much "backup" as possible. My mum is ok with it so i have backup there lol.

Im considering just not telling him until ive moved out, so that I dont have to put up with him but idk, thats probs far out (at least a year)

Help :(

Safety first. If you think you might be harmed, then don't tell that person, whether they are family or not. This might be especially important if he's likely to endanger your housing situation. Being unhoused can be seriously devastating. Not just the having no place to sleep or keep stuff, but not having an address can hurt your ability to get a job among other things. Unfortunately, that is just the way of the world right now. Safety first.
