Is coming out as trans the scariest thing imaginable? I honestly think I could have a gun pointed to my head and be less afraid. Then again I'm trans I would welcome death so probably a bad example.
It's scary, anon
I came out by text message.
Would that help?

I don't know how it would go by text message. Maybe it would be less stressful. Thanks for your opinion anyways.

My parents are always super loving and supportive, but they're also very traditional, so thinking about coming out scares me shitless. IDK, OP, let me know if you figure out how to do it.

Same with me it's absolutely horrifying to me.

Start with the ppl you think would take it the best first, that's my advice.
>>8062496
Yeah. Lots of people tend to hear the first part and think I'm overreacting, but there's a difference between letting me study animation as a career and being ok with me transitioning.

You could try presenting more as your acquired gender than you do already, if that's an issue.
I'm MTF, I bought myself some female clothes and makeup shortly before I came out. It's not about clothing for me but it helped my low, low, confidence.
Best of luck!
I wrote a letter to my mom. It went ok.
No clue how to come out to my religious-Trump-dad though. Fuck that.

Tell him you're transitioning into Charlton Heston/Daisy Duke.

It's terrifying, but worth it. Even brave people feel afraid anon, but they carry on despite it. You can be brave, too
>why would you do this to us? you're killing our son!
yeah I'm not gonna beat around the bush anon, it's fucking awful and afterwards it's like attending your own wake to be around your family. move out first and come out by text/letter/etc., that's what I did.
>>8062421
Be brave kiddo. Its worth it in the end to live free.

Not your own wake. <deadname>'s wake.
Almost. Your options radically range from being accepted and everything being sunshine and rainbows to just getting killed by someone self-righteous.
Usually the results range in the area of having everyone who doesn't like you simply abandon you and everyone close to you simply tolerate your existence at best while they take every opportunity they can to say that your innocuous actions are pushing them to breaking point.
