>but they thought i was just gay and very shy/depressed, not tranny
Mine were more shocked by the tranny part than anything else, but are still against all aspects of it regardless. The thing is they knew I was autistic and were who I heard it from first (though they never actually got me tested despite having it indicated to them very early), but they didn't consider that I wasn't going to be a regular straight person despite everything, and believe it's wrong even though this is just what my mind is.

>Yeah no my eccentric fashion sense could never hide it and I can't let go of it to this day.
I've never actually had a fashion sense because my mom dictated every piece of clothing I owned through the end of high school. I just gave up having any fashion of my own and just imagined in my head instead.
>We had like two ppl in the whole school come out as lesbian
I'm not sure we even had any of these, much less out faggots.
>I'll kinda always regret it, but also I understand why I did what I did.
I wish I'd had the courage to just be out and make my family get used to the idea early, giving me a chance to actually live my life instead of trying to play catch-up while still being discreet about it as an adult. I know deep down that I just don't possess the kind of personality to go against what anyone would have wanted. Being young, I undoubtedly would have folded after being repeatedly pressured by my family and church. It's only manageable now because they didn't find out until I was already moving out.
