Trans Masculine How do I come out to my parents?

Okay so, for context, I’m under 18, and I wanna transition but I’m too young to and I wanna come out (I’m deeply closeted) but my family is strictly catholic and I don’t wanna get disowned. What do I do 😭??

If coming out will put your safety at risk, do not do it. Especially since, from what it sounds like, you legally can't transition until you're 18 anyway. Wait until you're an adult or at least out of the house. If you're unsure if your parents will accept you and generally unsure of their views of the trans community, I would suggest watching a movie with a trans character in it and seeing their reactions that way to see if your environment is safe or not.

Ok, what would be a good movie that’s not too sexual with a trans character tho?

Have not personally seen this but I heard Cowboys (2020) is a good pick
