How do i come out
It's kinda a complicated situation cause I know my mom is ok with lgbtq and has even asked me if I was but at that time I wasn't comfortable. But the problem is that she has said some offensive stuff, and i still don't have it fully figured out Igtg now I'm gender fluid and Omni but I don't know how to explain that to her. So if I could have some advice that'd would be nice.
Also I go by Phoenix (phen for short) they/them
Well first of all, the positive is that she is ok with LGBTQ, she might just need further information on how to talk about anything related to persons in the LGBTQ community. I'll suggest you start slowly, with little conversations about terminologies and using them in an appropriate way and explain the non appropriate terminologies and its implications. Would it help if you showed her a video with educational information? Think of what she might assimilate best and do the best you can in explaining what she doesn't understand. You will need to be patient as some people tend to not get things as quickly not because they are not intelligent, it could be mostly because they haven't experienced it. I am by no means asking you to walk on egg shells but to approach things gradually. All the best
Thank you so much!
