I need help and advice from you all! Only my two closest friends know, but I want my parents to know as well. My mum is vaguely transphobic, but queer herself. My dad is an ally.

If your dad is an ally, and you trust that he would support you, I would tell him first and ask for his help to tell your mother. If your mother is ',vaguely transphobic' as you've said, I'm assuming that she might not understand what being trans is. You should look up local support groups for trans teens and their families. Or at least some group counseling to help educate your family and how to adjust. Even your dad, who you've said was an ally might need some time to process everything. I hope that your family is willing to support you and accept their child for who they are. I hope the best for you.

Depends how safe you'd feel if you did.

Do it the way you feel is best, be confident and proud of yourself, it's about you not other people! Keep the tone positive, it matters a lot how you say things: "i hope you don't mind i would like to talk to you about something" or "hey I want to tell you something exciting about myself" sounds very different. Good luck and be fabulous! ❤️

Hi, not a lot to say other than good luck for you. How old are you? What is your living situation? Just thinks worst case scenario if your mum goes over the top. If your dad is an ally then I suggest you tell him first, he should be able to advise on how to handle your mum?

While I don't have an advice since I haven't experienced this situation, I just wanna wish good luck and all the best ✌️ Recently I figured out I'm bigender and it was really liberating, like something finally fell into place and my life started to somewhat make sense. I hope you'll experience this joy, too 🩵🤍🩷
