Only one friend knows that I have gender dysphoria, and I really want to tell a few of my siblings that I trust. I'm just really sick of not having anyone close to talk to about this. I really want to freely explore my gender identity but I'm terrified. Does anyone know of a good way to bring up the subject? Or maybe a way to hint to them that I'm having these feelings?
What I did was type a letter out, put it into an envelope, and gave it to my mom right before I went to school so I didn't have to endure anything. I specifically said at the end of my letter that when I get home not to ask or say anything to me until I was ready to talk about it.
My sister and I are very close, however we don't talk about personal stuff (especially stuff like crushes... and sexuality). We both live in different provinces from each other, but I felt that once I told her then I could tell any of my peers and then be out and proud. So, for me it was easiest to write it out in a message and hit send, but that was pretty much the only way I could have done it. If you think your siblings will be supportive, then I say go for it however it makes you comfortable. Whether it be a letter like Aliciya said above me, a text, or face to face. Good luck (*hug*)
