Hello! I'm a pre-everything femme transguy, and I'm planning on coming out to my closer friends this summer (I don't want to come out yet as there's still a lot I need to figure out, yeah), but I know that none of them knows much about gender and gender identities apart from cis male and cis female. So how do I explain to them that I'm actually a very feminine transboy? And how do I make them take me seriously? Thanks in advance, Johan :3
Hello, Perhaps tell them you're ''being serious'' before you tell them what it is, so then they know you're being serious no matter what is being said. Is there a time in the summer when you need to do a presentation? Like at a camp or something? Perhaps you could do one about gender identity, and how this differs from gender expression [and sexuality].
That sounds like a good idea! We never know our teachers are gonna make us to presentations, but yeah, I hope I can get to do one of those before coming out. We recently had something called "project week", where you write a 10 page report-thingy and do a long-ass presentation, but sadly, our main topic didn't allow me to do a presentation about that. But yeah, I'll definitely make sure, that they know I'm being serious before telling them. Thanks for your advice, have a nice day (*hug*)
