I found out that I was a femboy 6 months ago and I wanted some girl clothing. I’ve been wanting to ask my parents for some but that would be weird. I wanted to come out but I don’t know how to. Help?

Ask questions about femeboys, like what they think of them and such, then gauge their reaction. Also, drop some hints because parents seem to take things better if they bring it up to you instead of you bringing it up to them.

I came out to my parents that I was bisexual. (This was before I found out I was Trans.) I told them I wanted some boys clothes cause I liked baggy clothes. But! I will say this. If coming out to them as a Femboy will put you in a harmful situation DON'T DO IT!! (Like abusive parents or smt) Just know that you don't own nobody shizz so don't let people get to you! Also if your parents are chill with it they will reply with "cool" or "ok". But before anything ask them about there perspectives on "Femboys" or anything related to that! I hoped this helped!!

It’s actually a lot more complicated than that. Just like what I said, it would be weird. Maybe I should just express my feminine acts through time.

How do I come out to my (unclear if supportive or not) dad and brothers?
I'm bisexual and out to my friends and my mom. I really want to tell my dad and my brothers (and my mom is trying to help, but... she doesn't get it at all...). I want to be publicly out to my family so I can get like stickers and pins and flags and stuff bi like christmas at least. However, my family has never really talked abt lgbtq+ unless I bring it up and then the conversation doesn't last very long. My brothers probably won't care and it'll be easy to like wave a flag in their face and be like "hey it's me! It's the bisexual flag btw!" but my dad... not so much. My mom has said that I shouldn't do a text because my dad needs a more clear message. I do agree with this but I'm stuck cuz the idea of telling him in person is scary. The best I can think of is a letter but I really don't want to be in the house when he reads it so placing it and finding a place to go would be kinda hard. Also my handwriting would probably be inelgible cuz I'd be paniking when I'd be writing it and he has bad eyesight so... help please?

What do you if you're gay/lesbian and in a homophobic environment?
My family (even my extended family) are homophobic and the here is problem I'm lesbian. I haven't come out to them but dropped somewhat subtle hints. My dad is pretty homophobic and my mom would disapprove of me having a crush on anyone, let alone a girl. Generally everyone in my family would disgusted/confused/homophobic if I ever came out. On top of that, the girl I have a crush on is my best friend. She has shown signs of liking me back. Most of my friends know I have a crush on her, but I just haven't officially come out to them (they already kind of know). How am I supposed to come out to my family?

What do I do if I want to look cute but I have strict parents?
What do I do if I want to look cute (both with my clothes and with my body) but I have strict parents who doesn't allow me to get new clothes, wear makeup, or add things to my outfits? My parents won't get me new clothes, won't let me wear makeup, and they won't allow me to add things to my clothes. All the clothes I have are either shabby, boyish, or just not cute. I also don't have any makeup or lip gloss; the only thing I have is an eyelash curler. I prefer girly, cute, aesthetic looks, but my parents just won't let me!
