Garyl, I apologize for my awful spelling in my previous post, but since then my twin sister helped me enormously to improve my spelling and has continued doing so.

After more thought, you could start off by explaining to your parents how they must remember their responsibility to support you and accept you and your decisions, when they are not meant to hurt anyone. Some parents, bit not all, have been known to lash out, and this awful and often frightening reaction often is because they simply don't understand gender dysphoria, let alone their son or daughter's distraught wishes to change gender.

If you start explaining that to your parents, you may feel more comfortable and secure. After clarifying your feelings, then you should be able to explain to them that you are transgender. It may scare you at first, but go and do it because expressing your identity should not be too much of an uphill struggle. Only if coming out really is going to be difficult, then perhaps a handwritten letter of carefully chosen wording could be the most useful and practical option.
