That is a lovely thing to understand yourself more as you grow up more @Mariefoxprice83 <3
If you are a Millennial then you have many more years of life ahead of you to be happy in, don't tell yourself it's "too late" for anything that feels right to you.
Families can have weird reactions at first to any kind of big change (well, what they perceive as a change), but families' first reactions are usually not the same as their eventual reaction.
Happy simming as you contemplate :)
Thank you so much for your kind words, and to @DaniRose2143 as well. I''m definitely not in a place where I could confide in my family. My brothers would probably be cool with it but my parents would struggle for sure. Their social circle is almost entirely comprised of straight, white British people and they have little interest or understanding of people from different backgrounds to their own. In a weird way I also kind of like the parts of me my family doesn't know about though, those things are separate from my family identity. I love that I now know terminology to express things that my younger self thought made me broken or wrong somehow. The internet is a blessing and occasionally a curse but I've been able to explore many things online that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
