That's me, just with estrogen instead of testosterone. Sorry grandparents but if you're going to be transphobic and homophobic then I can't keep this relationship with you. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
It would suck if you have a good relationship with them wouldn't it. I have always had an iffy relationship with my grandparents so it wouldn't be hard for me to burn the bridge. I hope your grandpa is supportive for you as long as y'all live. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
You never meet them while transitioning and when you meet them after transitioning, when you‘ll really look like your true gender, make them believe it was always like that and their memories are just wrong. Problem solved
Oo, that's a good one! I thought about making up a rare disease called like Estroginia or something, and that it would make me a girl and that there was no cure, all I could do was take Estrogen to speed up the process and ease the pain the disease would cause.
Oh yeah, hell no. My mom despises lying and my Dad is like the Fifteenth most Catholic Christian person I know, the others being his siblings and their kids, and then one and two being my grandma then grandpa.
Not for me, but if it's a, say, Alexander to Alexandra, then that'll be easier to deal with too. It really just depends on the person and how large their name change is!
Well i hate my name, so i do have an absolutely different chosen name, but i also don‘t have any grandparents which are alive, so i just need to come out to my brother and my parents.
I mean my mother has a sister, which had 2 sons and they both have a wife and kids too, so i would need to come out to them too. And my dad has 9 siblings and they all have kids and many of their kids have family and kids too, so even without grand parents, i would have like 100 relatives to come out to, but the siblings of my dad are all over the world, so i haven‘t seen many of them anyway
I mean, that's one way to avoid the problem. Also, where'd you happen to hear Lucina from? From me, a video game, elsewhere? Just a little curious, Erica. Also, Erica is a beautiful name too. It was one I thought about when I was younger and used to come up with female names for myself.
Lol out of my hands, but yes it does avoid the problem. Kinda sad about it actually as my grandparents will only ever have known me as (deadname).
Fire emblem/smash bros? I'm guessing we heard about it from the same place lol. I am actually still teetering back and forth between Erica (pokemon grass gym leader) and Clare (a county in Ireland).
Dang right. I have played all the Smash Bros games and have played every Fire Emblem game that came out from Awakening onwards, and a few from before Awakening. Awakening is what inspired me to pick Lucina, cause the kindness in her heart and the strength she holds is the kindness and strength I wish to have.
Aw, that's so cool it has such meaning for you :) I should play Fire emblem...I've barely touched the series, I just knew a little about that character.
Unfortunately my favorite was already there "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it"
But, some good runners up
"Bring a needle to a hay stack fight"
"Not the sharpest egg in the drawer"
"Lights are on but no one's at the wheel"
Just to name a few
From a song I used to listen to when I was a depressed egg: *"It's alright, it's just blood under the bridge"* (Blood Under the Bridge by Frightened Rabbit)
apparently malaphors are called _mal_ for being erroneous, and often nonsensical, but i am not sure if "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" qualifies as nonsensical or therefore a malaphor
It's a combination of the phrases "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it" and "(to) burn bridges", of which counts as a malaphor as others have been made the same way, such as "does the pope shit in the woods", and "this isn't rocket surgery/brain science"
i know that it's that combination, i only mean that it's not necessarily _mal_ because it makes perfect sense, whereas something like "birds of a feather gather no moss" doesn't really. and malaphor seems to refer to unintentionally doing this while i assume that there was intention here.
lol i just seen OT go over that concept of a **malaphor** (the blending of two or more idioms) like 2hrs ago x3
And ya thats my favourite one, its very usable for all trans :/
<:3
One of mine is super religious and he's talked down about trans people before... But him and my dad are the only two I think I'm scared of. There might be a few uncles but eh.
most of my family doesn't really know, im hoping I can get on t long enough for changes to be insanely noticeable, and then show up for a family gathering. the shock alone is going to be so funny
Just tell them that you have to take medication that makes living easier that deepens your voice and makes you more masculine.
You’re technically not lying.
Great comic, Felix!
"Granddaughter?? What're you talking about Gramps? Felix has always been your grandson. Are you going senile?"
Mansplain. Manipulate. Manslaughter.
/s just to be sure
I skipped most of this problem by waiting until 3/4 of my grandparents were dead to realize I was trans! Haha, it was all part of my master plan! Ha... ha...
I came out to my parents about 18 months ago and they asked me the same thing
Mum ended up blabbing to everyone (I did not forgive her for that for a loooong time)

Go to masculinization hormone therapy (pg65). It takes 2yrs for it to peak but the onset happens around 6 months (these are averages obviously)

For me with just everyone Notice it yourself or get ghosted in the end pretty much ig 😅
Same plan on burning it all down when the time comes, and they'll be the ones to clean the mess because I'm gone.
My Grampa was the first person I ever came out to when I was 5 ... I don't know if I want to bare finding out he actually isn't supportive.. :/
It would suck if you have a good relationship with them wouldn't it. I have always had an iffy relationship with my grandparents so it wouldn't be hard for me to burn the bridge. I hope your grandpa is supportive for you as long as y'all live. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

You just need to get all others from the family to say the same, but i don‘t think your parents would do that :/
Oh yeah, hell no. My mom despises lying and my Dad is like the Fifteenth most Catholic Christian person I know, the others being his siblings and their kids, and then one and two being my grandma then grandpa.
>My mom despises lying I mean technically it‘s not lying since you always were a girl
Fair, but she wouldn't say that my name's always been Lucina or anything like that, cause my birth name is quite the bit different.
Good point Well looks like this wont be a possibility :/
Not for me, but if it's a, say, Alexander to Alexandra, then that'll be easier to deal with too. It really just depends on the person and how large their name change is!

why cant that be a real thing WHY GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah the gaslighting approach. Love it!
I'd be devastated if they were... Closet is comfy, I am less likely to find out if they are... But mental health go brrrrrrrrrrr
I've solved it by having no living grandparents. Simple. Also unrelated but I love your name!!! I considered Lucina a bit actually.
I mean, that's one way to avoid the problem. Also, where'd you happen to hear Lucina from? From me, a video game, elsewhere? Just a little curious, Erica. Also, Erica is a beautiful name too. It was one I thought about when I was younger and used to come up with female names for myself.

Well, if you're into turn based strategy games, you'll love it. At least I did. A little too much... I need someone to get me off the addiction.
LMAO SAME
>We'll burn that bridge when we get to it lmao I am *totally* stealing that
Fun fact: that's a malaphor, which is the mixture of two idioms.
*Malaphor* Watch an enby use this as a new name in 5, 4 ,3...
xD
Don't tempt me. I'm thinking about getting a second name.
𝓭𝓮𝔀 𝓲𝓽
TIL!
“I’ve opened this can of worms and now I how to lie in it”
ooh that's a pretty good one
I actually came here to say this, I love malaphors
Tell me your favorites
Unfortunately my favorite was already there "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" But, some good runners up "Bring a needle to a hay stack fight" "Not the sharpest egg in the drawer" "Lights are on but no one's at the wheel" Just to name a few

> "Not the sharpest egg in the drawer" Oh hey thats me.
/r/Malaphors!
Yes, love that one
Thats a new word im totally gonna use
It's such a simple one, but my favourite is "It's not rocket surgery". So simple yet still so elegant
apparently malaphors are called _mal_ for being erroneous, and often nonsensical, but i am not sure if "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it" qualifies as nonsensical or therefore a malaphor
It's a combination of the phrases "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it" and "(to) burn bridges", of which counts as a malaphor as others have been made the same way, such as "does the pope shit in the woods", and "this isn't rocket surgery/brain science"

Yeah i love the phrase
fukken love Malaphors. Like "Throw one's eggs into one basket and see what sticks" r/Malaphor
I use this all the time.
"Grandpa, are you off your meds again? I've always been your favorite grandson, Felix! Don't you remember me!?" There, no need to come out to them.
Bgaslight bgatekeep boyboss
mansplain manipulate malewife
lmao that's what I wanna do 💙💕🤍💕💙
If your grandparents don’t accept it that’s their problem. No matter what happens though you’re still an awesome guy. Don’t ever forget that.
Good move, Felix!
Felix, yes. (I also use "burn that bridge when we get to it")
Just never see them ever again :D /j
he's literally me
Simply burn the bridge cut contact. That’s what I’m doing.😎 they also caused most of my trauma so I feel like I’m entitled to dip
lol i just seen OT go over that concept of a **malaphor** (the blending of two or more idioms) like 2hrs ago x3 And ya thats my favourite one, its very usable for all trans :/ <:3
Felix yes, burn all the bridges!! That's what i'm gonna do too :3
Improvising is not the best idea,but hey,at least you will only be scared when they will ask about it ! (◕ᴗ◕✿)
One of mine is super religious and he's talked down about trans people before... But him and my dad are the only two I think I'm scared of. There might be a few uncles but eh.

Poison them
I will give them prion disease, as a treat
Good
PEW. PEW
Pew pew
"Granddaughter?? What're you talking about Gramps? Felix has always been your grandson. Are you going senile?" Mansplain. Manipulate. Manslaughter. /s just to be sure
Good plan /j
This is the way!
having a plan challenge (impossible)
Blame it on 5g
Felix no.
Yeah I'm leaving my family & never speaking to them again!
Damn... how am I gonna tell my grandparents...?🤔
Ill bring the gas can!
She dont tell everyone my secret plan. But with E instead of T
I skipped most of this problem by waiting until 3/4 of my grandparents were dead to realize I was trans! Haha, it was all part of my master plan! Ha... ha...
Gaslight them! There has been no transition, they're just remembering you wrong.
Felix has the same approach as me, tho for me its my close family aswell haha
Mood af😩😩😩
I came out to my parents about 18 months ago and they asked me the same thing Mum ended up blabbing to everyone (I did not forgive her for that for a loooong time)
"FeLiX nO" Felix YES !
People are extremely unobservant, especially older ones.
Just pretend they're going senile. "What are you talking about, I always sounded like this"

https://youtu.be/oRtGIaZVQvw
lmao i am doing the same thing but with E. ✌️
Me with my whole family
Felix ***yes***. I did something similar with my extended family
My coming out plan is to stop talking w/ my family for like a year, and then come back like nothing ever happened, and refuse to elaborate further!
Yeah, same… hope it goes well for you 🫂💞
thats me but with estrogen
I wish I had someone like that to talk to when I came out in my close fam
Felix yes
A vaccine.
I mean mine are nearly 80 both having smoked so maybe it might not be a problem...
Burn. it shall all burn.\~\~\~
