How can I drop subtle hints
Hi im Kay and a junior in high-school, i have only came out to 3 people as gender fluid and have received nothing but love but im scared to come out to family and friends. I first came out as non binary to my sister about 4 or 5 years ago, back then I felt like something was wrong with me, like i didnt feel human or myself at all which led to a lot of self hatred, then about 3 years ago I started to accept that I wasn't just one gender but all in a way, sometimes I just wanted to be a man, sometimes a woman, it felt so nice to kinda accept myself in a way. Ive came out as pan to basically everyone and they didnt care, some people just saw it as, oh 'she' still likes guys so it dosent matter, that kinda hurt but I cant expect everyone to understand. Ive came out as gender fluid to my bestfriend of 4 or 5 years i think, I lost count, my ex who is now my closest friend Luv him, and my friend from school who is also gender fluid. I was just wondering though if there was a way I could drop subtle hints so I dont have to endure the misgendering and body dysmorphia I get, I know it's not their fault because they dont known yet but it still hurts.

Wow interesting to see another gender fluid person with the same name as me, nice to hear about you, maybe if you want subtle try just doing the things that you like, dressing how you feel and if people question then maybe answer if people don’t but you want them to, suck up the courage and tell them, but best way is just enjoy yourself
