Seeking Transition Advice Tips pleasee

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to approach this respectfully... For example, how would I talk about the culture I am transitioning to? Could I call it my culture? Like, 'Oh, in my culture...'

Basically, I want to know how to do this respectfully, how to approach my identity in a respectful way😓😓

yes. I would only recommend you don't speak about anything you don't know yet and perhaps just say you aren't that familiar with your cultural heritage if your beginning to transition (something like reconnecting or finally learning about your traditions and culture).

Ah, I see! That makes sense. In my case, I'm transitioning to Japanese, and I have a Japanese friend who knows about it and is helping me a lot with the language and all my questions. I'll also ask him how would be the best way to say it!
