    So i plan on coming out to my family as trans and bi sometime early next year and i really need tips on how to do that. especially with my dad who doesn't even live in the same state and im pretty sure he doesn't have a computer so i cant link him to any resources.

    i asked a therepist where i get my hormones and she said something about having a person to call after you come out so they know you are safe and are ready to celebrate or comfort you after

    do you guys have any more tips for me?

    I have had two friends in real life who both took that step. Probably the most important thing I could suggest is relying on the people around you, friends and family who love you. Other than that, best thing you can do is take that step soon, because delaying it further will only cause unhappiness for you.

    I understand being unhappy with it. i was actually planning to come out by the end of this year but i felt really rushed to do it.

    thank you for the advice tho!
