I'm coming out to my dad.

I'm not really seeking advice because I already know what I'm going to do, but I really just need some support here.

So, later on today, I'm going with my dad to one of his jobs (he works across the state doing various mechanical things), which means that we'll be sitting in the car together for quite awhile. So, this gives me time to just go ahead and say it. Except I'm really, really nervous. My dad is kind of a homophobe and I'm sure he's transphobic without even knowing it. But I really need to get it done and over with, because I'm definitely transitioning. I want him to know. I'm tired of hiding and having him refer to me as his daughter, and calling me by all those disgusting, loathing female pronouns.

I already managed to come out to my mum and brother last night and it went over okay, my mum was a little upset but nothing drastic. Now I need to complete this, and be out to both of my parents.

I'm already shaking as I write this. Just.. wish me luck or something. I'm going to be blunt and just say it to him, but my voice will probably crack. I just need support here. Send me your best wishes, and if you have some sort of advice that you want to add in, do so.

Oh god I'm going to throw up.

 

I remember when I did, you will feel so liberated, it's all a process. Best wishes.

 

I chickened out. I almost said it. I brought up the whole gay marriage deal with him just to break the ice and figured I'd proceed from there (he already knows I'm gay in a cis female view) so he goes "yeah if they can marry, whatever". It didn't really leave me such leeway to say it and it would've been awkward.

Oh well, I'll try again when the time comes I guess.
Thanks for everyone's wishes.
