Hey, just wanted to ask because I’m unsure how I should handle this situation. Did you tell people from you family that you’re otherkin?

Hahahaha, god no, they’d kill me and I don’t know if I mean that literally or not. Mind you, my family makes a pastime of gaslighting me and thinks nonbinary = intersex (I have them currently convinced I’m a cis lesbian because it’s just easier that way).

I really wouldn’t tell the biological family anything unless you know they will take it well. The advice I usually give is tell them about the phenomenon like it’s something you recently heard about, and see how they take to it. You want to have every argument antis pull and how to combat them memorized, because chances are you’ll be using them. If they take positively to it, then yeah, maybe you can tell them. If they take negatively, stop, do not pass go, do not collect 200$. 

It really depends on the family, but if yours is anything like mine, it’s a terrible idea. I for one am going to wait until I’m 26 and not financially dependent on them at all and am okay with getting disowned, just in case. 

But if you’re luckier than I am and they take positively to the idea, feel free to tell them, and let me know how that goes.

Hope that helps.
