Does anyone know of a guide or infographic for explaining trans identities to parents? [CROSSPOST] (lemmygrad.ml)

Basically, I'm planning on having that conversation with my parents soon (who have never even suspected me of being anything but cishet).

My parents are ... I'm not sure how conservative or liberal they are in regards to LGBTQ issues (we're an Indian family that never talks about things like this). I know I'm supposed to be leading the conversation, but I'm not sure how well I can explain even the concept of being transgender to my parents (I doubt they have ever thought about it). They might take me a lot more seriously if I can get an "official" looking document, and it will help with establishing a baseline.

Your help will be much appreciated.

I'm crossposting to here because Hexbear seems to be down

Does this help?

I hope they are accepting but if they are not, know that you are not alone. Many have walked a path similar to yours and there is support.

I'm not sure how much this will help, but I will try using it. Thanks a lot. I'm really feeling crushed, not knowing what they will tell me.
