Hey. I’m 11 and I am sure I am bi or pan. My parents are transphobic and homophobic. How do I hide this?

Question

Hi.

Answer 1

I have a similar problem to yours. I am bisexual (in my case this means i am attracted in that way towards women and nonbinary people), omniromantic (i can feel romantic attraction towards all genders, but i prefer some genders over others) demiflexible (normally i have to know someone and have some kind of connection with them to fall for them, but occasionally i will just fall for people anyway) greysexual (if i feel, um, THAT kind of attraction i only feel it very weakly, or i feel it but i dont, you know, actually want to really be really close with anyone) and gynesexual (i am generally attracted towards women and feminine people). I also think I might be a demigirl.

I’m pretty sure that my mum supports the LGBTQ community, but my dad has made some transphobic and homophobic comments, so i dont know whether I should come out or not. My suggestion would be to tell your closest friends, but only if you really trust them. My current mission in life is to come out to everyone but my parents /jk XD

hope it goes well!

I just like people ig, I don’t really know. I do like women more, and I’m also kinda in that situation. But, I want to come out to my really transphobic and prob homophobic grand parents. I’m terrified that they might start screaming at me if I tell them.

What I would do is probably straight up tell them or give hints, or just wait till you grow up and move out to tell them, so you can’t get kicked out or grounded. Worst comes to worst, you never talk to them again.

Answer 2

Uhmm just don't tell them ig?

And it would be better not to tell anyone else either as they might slip and accidentally tell your parents.

Another option is to just straight up tell them. They might not accept it but at least you don't have to worry about it anymore
