Added 2025-08-20 16:00:10 +0000 UTCDid you ever come out (with something) to your parents?
I remember coming out to my mom. I did it when I already moved out and her already having met my then-girlfriend definitely helped. I assumed she wouldn't react with anger, I knew I was save and not dependent on her or my father, I was pretty sure any queerphobic views were rooted in ignorance and not hostility. And yet, I still remember almost choking on my own heartbeat. That's been 13 years ago now.
I wanted Flix' parents to react affectionately but not perfectly, given that they were quite suprised. The most important thing is that they accept and support Flix though, so making it a bit about themselves, being a bit unsure and clumsy doesn't matter in the end. π
Writing this made me kinda emotional. I'm sending hugs to everyone who wants them!

My Dad was first a bit shocked as I came out. But as he asked since when, and he further asked if I was that like since school back then. And I said that I did not know it back then, I saw a Rock lifted on his face/heart. Guess he only was fearing gettong thoughts how I could had make out with my Teen friends at which places I oftenly stayed, and he did not want those thoughts at that very moment xD Now he us pretty supportive, and he, who never who never gets excited about films like yelling at them, started yelling at tlou... as he mostly saw me in ellie, that was way too cute. My mother, which I prefer hsving no real contact, was also real chill, and said "I so that's nothing new, I always got such vibes from you, and yeah I have to say also if I prefer man, I can feel you, I sometimes inquestion my orientation self". my sis was not that easy (while she is the one always telling people ablut being tolerant etc). She was likely "Oh abd now you tell us you sometimes feel like a guy? Since shortly only since it's "in/modern" I yelled so hart at her. How she could put my feelings so downlow to only to make her feel high abd mighty only because she got whole other Problems which she wanted to forget. That fight did scap on our bound as siblings, I bet she don't see or feel it, but yeah I don't trust her anymore blindly. Also that ahe now accepted me, the trust is somehow destroyed. My bro bever saud a word and Acts like ever, guess I am the very same person for him. So all chill and real supportive fam, so lucky, since I know other get real Problems with that. Hope that the World chabge for the better for All of you. And I am pan, pref woman. Mostly am gebder fluid, since I feel I miss a body part down there I guess I am trabs, but since I are older and had been imprinted by Media, accepting my born fem body, it turned me being fluid. And Hamburg for plenty Semesters did help me big times learning that you are accepted no matter how you are, people shall have their own problems
