(TW: SH) When I came out I was in the 5th grade. I had come out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me I was far too young to know (which is understandable), but she would support me a few months after coming out. A few years later, last October, actually, I came out to my dad, who lives in New York, as Transmasculine. He said he would support me, I was just too young to absolutely make sure. (Makes sense.) I had (kind of) come out to my mom I think in December and she didn’t support that whatsoever. I had been self harming the past few weeks (both due to dysphoria and just a plain relapse). Last night, I started talking to my mom about my SH habits. She started comforting me, making me laugh, all that. It was honestly great to open up to her. I think she’s getting more supportive 🙂 (Transmasc/13)
