When I came out I was 11. At that time I identified as pansexual and had posted about it online. My parents, being overprotective, read it. Later, at a sleepover one September 15, my (lesbian) friend dared me to officially come out, as my parents hadn’t said anything on the topic. We made a little sign saying “am pansexual. – [deadname]”. (Transmasc/genderfluid/nonbinary/Pomoromantic/asexual/aro-spec)
Story #2299
When I came out to my mom, she said she accepted me, but kept misgendering me. I remember telling her I wanted to change my name, and she got really mad. Recently I talked to her about constantly misgendering me, and she said that I was “too young to know”, which is stupid. When I came out to my dad, he said I didn’t “act like a boy”, and wouldn’t refer to me as one. I’m lucky to have friends, an aunt and a few cousins that accept me. (Transmasculine/13/Gay)
