I am transgendered but I do not know if I should tell my parents. I came out to them as a lesbian last summer, but that was not quite correct, in that while I primarily like women, I think of myself as a male. I did not think that they could handle me telling them both parts at the same time.
Now I wonder if I should let them know so that they will understand more about me, and maybe even start calling my by my male name and using male pronouns. But at the same time I think they would not understand me at all, and that they would think I am too young or not even care about it.
So should I let them know, or should I wait a few years? I don't want to tell them too early, but I also don't want to surprise them with a mustache. And if I should tell them, how should I? I really bombed it when I last came out.
