My name is Jake. I'm a trans youth and I've decided to stop being a chicken and come out to my parents as transgender. I'll be doing it the 21st of August but before telling my parents I'll tell my therapist. I think she has no clue other than picking up on the way I dress.
Anyway, I'm pretty terrified on the whole thing. I know it won't go well and I'd be putting my parents on the spot by telling them in one of my therapy sessions. But I feel there's no other way of doing it because my home isn't the safest environment. Additionally, they're transphobic.
I don't really want this to be a life story or anything. I was just wondering if anyone's had a similar situation. If so, I really need some advice or something.

I don't know your life's experience, but let me tell you mine. I sincerely hope that it will be helpful to you, but do not take this as me telling you what you should do. Only you can know that.
I, around two years ago, have come out as gay. The method I've used, which has worked rather well for me, has been not making a big deal about it. I never had a big coming out talk with my parents, or anyone really. But when I eventually came to terms with the fact that I was gay, I simply went about my normal life, uninhibited by the fear of being labeled. If someone asked if I was gay, I would say yes. My opponents could not claim I was doing it solely for attention. And since I was acting so normally otherwise, it added to the argument that I was simply being who I was as a person.
However, I was in a different situation than you. It may be that I'm simply an idealist, wanting to live in a world where being LBGTQ+ isn't a big deal. If you feel that coming out is the best option, do what feels natural. Just don't do anything that you'll regret in a years time. And always remember that there are plenty of people you can talk to, on the internet or not.
I'll be rooting for you.

Good luck and I hope everything turns out for the best.

Thank you both for the support.

>>2 I don't want to make a big deal out of it either. Outside my home and school there is no problem with me identifying as male, I pass pretty well. But, as I mentioned before, my parents are transphobic.
I've tried to come out by just being myself, as in dressing and all, but they've acted negatively towards all that. By that I mean they've been verbally abusive and forced me to wear more feminine things. My mother's even gone to the lengths of piercing both of my ears and not allowing me to go to family evens if I'm not wearing earrings.
I was thinking of writing them a letter instead. I'm not so sure how much of a better idea that is.

I'm not sure how old you are, but unless you're able to support youself should the need arise, I wouldn't recommend coming out yet. In the event that things go particularly badly, you really don't want to be stuck with them.
I think telling them during a therapy session is a good idea though. They're more likely to listen to her than you, unfortunately. Just make sure she knows all your concerns beforehand so she can better address them with your parents.
Good luck.

Good luck. I guess you're forced to tell them anyway, and can't evade it.

>>1 one of my most cherished of friends is trans and she came out to her parents about it, but, her mom is a psychologist or a therapist herself (I can't recall exactly,) so she just accepted it. However, since your parents are phobic I don't recommend that you come out now, as Blinking said, it's best that you keep it to yourself for awhile until you are on your own. However I do think that at some point you need to tell your therapist. My parents are homophobic and I'm pretty sure they already think I'm gay because I've never dated anyone, but I've never come out to them about being bi because they help pay for my school fees. Just keep it to yourself for awhile, it may be hard but just keep your best interests in mind for the future. Good luck!
