Idk what to do. I might be trans, might just be someone who wants to look cute and I can’t tell the difference anymore. Also permanently transitioning will come at great personal cost and might be a unique safety issue. Also I never had any dysphoric thoughts before 26-27y of age. I’m 31 now I’ve lived most of my life as a straight man maybe just keep going lmao. But I do have gender envy for days. Point being why now. Also it’ll break my mother’s heart if she so much as sees me in a skirt. Dad’s too lol. Say what you will about ‘that’s on them, not your problem, transphobes bad’ I can’t help but love and care about them, they’ve really tried as parents. they’re just heavily indoctrinated old ppl with calcified brains.

That’s ok, you don’t need any. Cool gender envy :)
I think if they really do care as parents, they’ll realise that you are still you and being trans is cool. Safety issues are more worth considering imo.
I’d argue that they do actually care which is why they will never accept it because of their beliefs(I’ll burn in hell for eternity etc). If they didn’t care they’d be like eh nothing to do with me. I have moved out, could never even consider this otherwise, quite literally when I lived there I didn’t have the space in my head to think about identity or introspect or care about how I looked at all lol. But safety does remain an issue because… Idk how far people might go to try and save me lol.
Oh… religious What I mean is that if they really give a shit about you and aren’t utter fucking losers, they would probably reconsider. I find sometimes a good “ok you’ll not be in my life anymore, come back if you quit being a transphobe” works wonders on the extreme end.
If you have your own space though Idk what the barrier is. “how far people might go to try and save me”?
Unfortunately they care but are losers lol. And I have reason to believe that they’ll uh… pursue their self appointed quest. It’s a coin flip since I’ve known them to do more for less but at the same time getting old so who even knows. And beyond that there’s just the regular hate crimes and stuff to be wary of.
Edit: maybe relevant but I’m not in the states/West so legal advice might not be applicable
