@ShWomenstore I came out as trans at 24, there had always been signs but I said it out loud for the first time during a counselling session

I told my mom I'm bisexual when I was 15. I was super nervous, I was having a hard time accepting it myself. She looked at me and said, "I know." To this day I have no idea how she knew before I did.
Simple and straightforward, with supportive parents. Was in the back garden with my step-dad, my parents already had an inkling I was gay, and we were talking about a family member's relationship with someone, and we started talking about what I want in life, can't even quite remember how the conversation went, but then he just turned around to me and said "You know, I reckon you're about 80% gay, and 20% you're not quite sure". I just said, "Yep, you're probably right". I was 16 at the time. He just walked over to me, gave me a big hug and said "I am so proud of you. You're the best son anyone could ask for."

Comment from discussion What's your coming out story?.

My two stories from coming out (context: I am bi)

Came out to two mates of mine, to which one exclaimed "That's so cool; you can get a hard from anyone!"
Came out to another friend of mine, to which he replied "Wait, your tell me you like women as well?"

I've got good friends.

Our favourite:

I told my dad. He said "Oh, I know! You've always loved musical theatre and brunch!" Then he gave me a huge hug.
For the record, I'm a lesbian and those are all the wrong stereotypes ( I do love them), but it made it very funny and much less nerve wracking to tell the rest of my family. Who were just like "yeah okay we know".
