hey, I’m agender, and asexual. I have only come out to my closest friends. I told one friend and they said I was a freak and never talked to me again. I haven’t come out to my parents yet, my parents don’t understand anything that isn’t heterosexuality , so they judge it. Shopping is a nightmare with my mother, she always insists that I should wear dresses because it’s ‘ good to look feminine and not look like a guy’. I’m really scared that they’ll kick me out if I come out to them, but I’ve hidden in the closet since 2011, I feel the need to come out to them, but I’m scared of what they’ll say and what they’ll do, my dad used to abuse me and my brother while my mother was at work, so I’m terrified of what he’ll do when he finds out. Any tips or ideas for coming out would be amazing. I hope you have a nice day ~ Amari
