3am text message to parents I knew would support me, do as I say not as I do lol
i would have a plan b if things are shaky already with support, dont risk anything if you are in danger of being kicked out or worse. have a sit down talk with them, theyll understand or they won't. once you explain yourself its up to them to process it
Haha I will try stop myself from doing as you do in this case! I am only a little jealous that you knew they would support you.
Luckily, I live on my own with my wife, so they can’t kick me out, but they could cut ties if they want to (and I would prefer they didn’t). But yeah, that’s a good point. After they find out, it’s up to them. And there are plenty of people that I’m already out to who don’t have a problem with it, so it’s not a me thing, if they don’t process it well.
if they cut you off for being trans its kinda a non starter to begin with (for me anyway, you're totally valid to think otherwise). its who you are as a person and you can't change that, theyll find out eventually on their own
