Has anyone here - especially those under 18 and/or living with their parents - started to transition before coming out to family, rather than the other way around? The reason I'm asking is that I'm wondering if I should properly explain to my parents that I'm genderqueer/leaning towards more obviously masculine, or just hope that they put two and two together and just ask me about it. I'm planning on changing my feminine birth name quite soon, and all the options I've talked about with my mother have been masculine/unisex. I'm also getting my hair cut in a floppy mohawk soon, which is even less feminine than my current hair. I generally wear boy's clothing. My father thinks I'm lesbian/'really gay' i.e. butch which I just make into a joke because I can't tell him that he's not thaaat wrong. Do you think I should just continue with this semi-transition and tell my parents afterwards, or explain now that the reason I'm changing everything is that I'm uncomfortable with my gender?
