So recently, I finally decided to start transitioning to non-binary and changed my name and pronouns. I've slowly been telling people, but I'm scared of what they'll say and some of the people I've already told refuse to call me by my new name, or pronouns. Also, I haven't come out to my parents because they are super against LGBT+, should I tell them? What can I do to make people understand that I want to change my pronouns, especially since I've been friends with some of these people since childhood.

On a side note, there's this girl I really like and think is cute, but I don't know if she's straight or single or anything about that. It would be great if I could get advice on that as well. How do I figure it out without being too obvious?

Any help would be appreciate (I have no idea what I am doing with my life right now 😭)

Hey listen up, just be you, God Created you because he knew you would make such a great impact on peoples life’s. Listen coming from a straight female i don’t see anything wrong with the new pronouns. In my books who u wanna be is who u wanna be and you can’t change that. Maybe don’t tell your parents until you’re older? Just my opinion. But with the girl you like have you been talking with her on a normal basis. You can always try talking to her be her friend. Smile when you’re around her. That’s what guys do to me when they TRY AND WIN ME OVER (which doesn’t work all the time)

Congratulations on coming out! Remember, with the people you've told- there's nothing wrong with correcting people when they misgender you. You deserve to be treated with respect

When it comes to your parents, that can be more complicated. First take into account your safety. Coming out to your parents is definitely an important step, but the most important thing is that your home is a safe and secure place for you. If being out to them would compromise that, it might be best to wait until you know that it would be safe for you to do so.

Hopefully when you do come out to them, they learn to accept you. A lot of homophobia/transphobia comes from fear and a lack of knowledge, and people may come around to it and be more accepting once they learn their loved ones are queer, and still the same person they love and care about.

I wish you the best of luck!! ❤️
