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.

Edit: I’ll just try to gauge their thinking on LGBTQ issues for now. Mentally speaking, I need time to sort everything out. I need to stop panicking.
