A little advice

>>8398173
My coming out strategy involved psychological warfare and guilt tripping. It worked pretty well.

Step 1: pity
>tell parents I have a problem/secret
>tell parents I have really bad anxiety and can't sleep
>fail university
>blame this "problem"

Step 2: guilt trip
>start seeing a psych
>tell them I am afraid of their reaction if I tell them my problem
>ask them if they really love me
>tell them I can't trust them

Step 3: curiosity
>almost tell parents my secret without ever coming out
>drop mysterious hints all the time

Step 4: come out
>at this point your parents should be conditioned to accept anything you say
>swallow your fears and tell them you want to be a girl (right before doing this ask them again if they truly love you/care about you to reinforce the guilt trip conditioning outlined in step 2)

What if you skipped step 1 and went straight to step 2?

I just went and straight up told my family.
At first they were pretty shook but now they're pretty supportive and I start hormones in August.

I have a pretty accepting family so I just went for it, but I know not everyone is as lucky as I am in that regard.

Maybe you do need ti prep and come up with this grand plan, but at the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with just going for it senpai.

Why wait? Start now, you won't fail boymode for a few months at least, and get a head start for girlmode next year.

>tfw already skipped step 1
I think when I come out I'm just going to go talk with my mom tell her "I need to tell you something you're really not gonna like, I'm transgender" then probably proceed to cry and hope for the best.
