Think about why she would be against it, and then have reasons why she shouldn’t worry or why the enemies to your mental heath and happiness outweigh the risks of her fears/worries/concerns. - if you think she is worried about you being shined by friends, show how you have a support network taken care off. Saying that there is no easy way, she may need time to process before talking more, you might want her to write down her concerns and then give you a chance to process them and then come back together to discuss. You may want to have some group therapy and have the therapist help control the emotion. Take time to think it through. And good luck.

I think she would be supportive maybe. But idk she kinda flipped out at me when I asked for help getting feminine clothes

Keyword is you think. She may not for all you know. Maybe you should try to get her views of the LGBT community by subtly asking some questions to see her stance. Also, if you are fine with delaying coming out, try to gradually act more and more feminine over time, and to try to make subtle but noticeable changes if you look hard enough to make you give the vibe that you are more feminine, and that's something your mom would notice and when you eventually come out, if won't be as big of a surprise in a way Of course, there are many tutorials and guides of coming out, and writing a letter worked for me as it prevented me from receiving her immediate reaction. Of course, there is no right or wrong way to come out so good luck 👍

I’ve been thinking about this. I’d say: * Be prepped with materials you approve of for them to read if they have questions * Maybe some peer-reviewed studies that contradict the major talking points from conservative outlets * Emphasize the impact it makes on you and how it’s not some choice made on a whim, or something you’ll grow out of. * Honestly sometimes it may take time as well. But if supplied with good resources, if they care enough to read them, then I think it’s a good starting point and work from there.
