I need some help coming out
I’ve recently turned 18, and I want to come out as a trans woman to my mother and my younger brother. Currently, to them, I’m a bisexual cisgender boy, but, to myself, I’m pretty sure that I’m a lesbian trans woman, although, I’m not completely certain on anything yet. Ideally, I’d come out to a friend or two first, but, honestly, I don’t really have any at the moment (not a pity-grab, just an unfortunate truth). I know that they’ll both support me, but we’re a low-income household in a relatively closed-minded small town (in the UK, to clarify), so I don’t want to create any pressure when it comes to socially transitioning (getting me a new wardrobe, etc.), as that might lead to hate crime, and I personally wouldn’t be able to feel pretty or comfortable wearing women’s clothing until my body passes better (besides, I haven’t even got one specific name in mind yet). However, I also hope to start medically transitioning as soon as possible (hormones, ideally), so I don’t want my coming out to be seen as too small a change either. Technically, I have come out to them as trans before, but I was younger, and I went back into the closet within a month because it felt strange, and nothing was really happening other than them calling me a different name. I’d love any and all advice!
