How do I come out to my Grandparents?
I’m 14, M (Trans Ftm) and am slowly coming out to my family. I’ve had short hair since I’m 11 and socially transitioned for the most part. Everyone at school knows and calls me by my preferred name, my parents also know but it’s still hard for them (They are using gender neutral language for me and are just having a hard time calling me my preferred name). I’m thinking about coming out to my family (My parents support it and would probably start calling me my preferred name even!). On my dads side, many are right wingers and some would 100% not like it, that’s mostly alright though because we aren’t in close contact with them anyways (My dad’s family is big so some of them are close to us and would support it). But on my moms side it’s a bit different, her family is small but she was born in the DDR (Eastern germany, before the wall fell) and my grandparents are well… pretty right wing aswell. My aunt is a lesbian and they had a hard time supporting that but they would NOT understand the concept of being trans. I’m their only female born grandchild aswell and I’m kind of scared to come out. I know my happiness is more important than their understanding but they are the only part of the family that have been at all my birthdays. (My other grandparents are alcoholics that shit in their bed.) So loosing their support would kinda hurt. What do I do?
