So my grandma is pretty religious, and conservative. I've lived with her my whole life and now I need to tell her that I want to be a boy and that I like girls. She would literally flip if I told her that I'm transgender. All growing up she put me in dresses and only gave me dolls to play with. It would kill her to know, but I have to tell her. I'm going to a conservative Christian school and I have to get out of here. The only way I can leave is if I tell her. I'm miserable here. The underworks website it blocked by my schools security, and anything related to transgender is blocked as porn. She already kinda suspects that I like girls, and was really angry for a while. I just don't know what to do. Would you just say that your gay or tell the whole thing. I'm afraid if I tell her that I'm trans, she won't believe me. In her mind, I'm her little girl, who played with dolls. She was always happy that I didn't date and happy that I didn't wear makeup. Until now, now she's saying that I'm old enough to date and old enough to wear makeup. I never know what to say when she says that.
Think that your decision to tell your grandma should depend upon many things. First of all, her health and age should be given some thought. Also, you must bear in mind that many religious people place "god" and "the bible" before family or anything else. Many LGBT children become homeless, after divulging such information. Are you completely dependent upon your grandmother for the bare essentials of life? You might want to wait until you're gainfully employed before telling anyone about your personal business. Afterall, it's not like you owe an explanation to anyone, but yourself. It's your own private affair about who you like and how you'd like to express yourself sexually with anyone you personally choose to share your most intimate moments. Your grandma has done well the last four or five years without knowing. Perhaps another four or five years won't hurt either...
