Okay, essentially I've decided to make a promise to myself to fully come out as trans and start presenting as female etc. before the end of the year. Now, I'm in the process of trying to make up plans for how to handle it. I'm already out to the majority of my friends (Who are all accepting of it), but that's not really where the issue lies.
The issue is really more with family. Essentially, my father is very bigoted, and has negative views of pretty much anything outside of the "norm", so I can't imagine it going to well, and is really the reason it's taken me until now to do anything about it.
So, really, I can expect him to react badly to it. Not sure how badly, but I'm almost certain he will. Now, getting kicked out probably won't be too much of an issue (Mental health team have given me numbers I can call in that situation to get me somewhere to stay), however, that is really a worst case scenario, and I'm trying to find ways to get it handled in the best possible way, and so am looking for a bit of advice (I care a bit to much about people to want him to handle it badly, disown me, etc.)
Right now, one possible thing I can think of that will be helpful would be to have a friend there with me, hopefully to keep him from going completely mad about it. Outside of all that though, I'm still pretty lost on the best way of going about it. So, really, I'm hoping someone may be able to give me some useful tips, or just general advice. Thanks for reading this mess of disjointed sentences, hope someone can make sense of it!
