    I had always hated being addressed by my legal name… and it got to a point where for months id always cry and go stttoooop when my mom addressed me… so she kept asking me what was wrong and why I was so upset smd so I ended up writing her a note that just said “my name is diane” and then told her to read it later… and she texted back and said “it is a beautiful name” and then that was all…

    Step one: Gather your family.

    Step two: say it politely, submissively to your paternal authority.

    Step three: Take a punch to the face that permanently dislocates your jaw, delivered by your Sir father

    Step four: Be kicked out of the house

    It worked for me.

        For family, something like

        Dear [Name],
        
        This letter is a bit difficult for me to write, but I feel that it is important for me to write it. There is something I have been carrying inside of myself for some time now, and I now feel ready to come to you with it.
        
        I am a woman, which means that I plan to live the rest of life in accordance with that fact.
        
        I know this may be a bit difficult to understand at first, and it may be very new to you, but it is something I have known for some time. I trust you with this information about who I am, and I would like if in return that you start calling me by my chosen name, which is [if applicable, here], and using my pronouns, which are [here].
        
        I plan to [insert aspects of transition you plan to pursue here, such as changes to your clothing, hair, or gender expression. ] This is to help me feel more comfortable in my body as well as the world, and it’s a feeling I hope that you can understand.
        
        I’m still your child, with the same likes and dislikes. I’ll just be living more authentically as the true me. And I know that you may have some slip-ups calling me [Name] or using [pronouns] at first, and that is okay. I would just like to know that you are trying your best to learn, understand, and support me. If you do slip-up, you do not have to make a big deal out of it. Correcting yourself is enough for me to see that you care about and respect who I am.
        
        If you have questions, I want to talk about them and help answer them, please write a list of things you'd like to know and I will respond to you. I find this topic difficult to talk about in person, so for now mostly talking about it in writing would be my preference.
        
        Thank you for your understanding and your support,
        
        [Your name]
        

        For friends:

        I am trans and will be going by [your name] and using she/her pronouns from now on. I hope you will respect this decision. Please let me know if you have have any questions!
