Advice on coming out to Christian parents
Long story short, I've recently accepted that I am a trans woman. I am married and we have two kids. I grew up in a Lutheran church and attended private school, although I had a crisis of faith all throughout high school and have left the church. I'd consider myself agnostic at this point, but also know faith can ebb and flow throughout life. My parents are still very religious, go to the same church, and are involved in the same private school. I am terrified of losing them if I transition (more like when), and I can't even begin to formulate the words I'll eventually use to come out.
Are there any passages from Scripture that would help them, or help me? Any advice on how to come out, knowing that religion will inevitably be a large part of my conversation with them?
Thank you so much!
