I recently discovered that i'm trans. I told it to some friends, and always said I won't tell my parents until it's done, because I seriously think they are transphobic. My dad said that he "don't like trannies", from his own words, and my mother struggled so much with admitting that my bisexuality is a thing that I can't imagine how she will react to her boy having to do irreversible actions on his body to become a girl. And they both mocked my FtM ex-girlfriend by misgendering her intentionnally, which is quite easy in french with accorded pronouns and stuff.
But some part of me tells me that I should tell them about it, because our family had hard time and the least I should do is to he honest with the people I live with and who still feed me and helps me to live. Plus, if they accept it I could seek for help a bit more easily, and I could try more stuff that would be suspect otherwise, like crossdressing, makeup or nail art.
but I don't want to face transphobia and (more) disappointment in me from their part. How egoist is it from me to care of myself more than them, to a point I'll hide them what I am ? I don't know if it's worth the risk honestly, I'm tired of the sad-hypocrite-disappointed that come along with the "whatever makes you happy."
