How do you come out to your parents that you are a femboy?
I found out that I was a femboy 6 months ago and I wanted some girl clothing. I’ve been wanting to ask my parents for some but that would be weird. I wanted to come out but I don’t know how to. Help?

You can start by trying to make it simple; you could start a conversation about what gender means. For example, you could start by chatting about how clothing at a department store is separated into distinct spaces for men and women. But if I like a shirt, and it's not in the department for my gender, it shouldn't matter, because I like it. That's something that can be thought of differently; just because I'm X gender doesn't mean I have to follow everything that society is telling me to do. So you can start by having conversations like that with them! Hopefully, this will help you open the door to explaining what you'd like to them.
You could also employ media here; you could try watching a show that exposes them to characters that dress the way you're hoping to dress. Finally, I hope that you can seek out safe spaces where others support the way you want to dress.

I came out to my parents that I was bisexual. (This was before I found out I was Trans.) I told them I wanted some boys clothes cause I liked baggy clothes. But! I will say this. If coming out to them as a Femboy will put you in a harmful situation DON'T DO IT!! (Like abusive parents or smt) Just know that you don't own nobody shizz so don't let people get to you! Also if your parents are chill with it they will reply with "cool" or "ok". But before anything ask them about there perspectives on "Femboys" or anything related to that! I hoped this helped!!

I came out to my parents as trans after thinking I was a femboy for a while, and I thought I could trust them, but man was I wrong. just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to think and get good read on them or try hinting at it so they aren't so blindsided by it. Ever since I started to get girls clothing I have felt so much better about myself and more comfortable not wearing stuff like boys underwear or whatever. do what you feel is right and stay true to yourself, but don't make everything set in stone to quickly or that could cause problems, trust me I know from experience and it sucks.

Ask questions about femeboys, like what they think of them and such, then gauge their reaction. Also, drop some hints because parents seem to take things better if they bring it up to you instead of you bringing it up to them.

say, "(Parental name, mom/dad), so like, what if you bought me this, it looks nice." if you are in a a store and see some cute girl clothing. over time see how that goes.

It’s actually a lot more complicated than that. Just like what I said, it would be weird. Maybe I should just express my feminine acts through time.

I think time would work. If your parents are as weird about this stuff as mine are, I would say that you should gradually express that you like girl's clothing and being girly and stuff

I don't want to be rude or anything I just want to make sure you peeps know that femboy is not a gender/part of the LGBTQ+ it's gender expression. But this is the best place to post it I just wanted to make sure :)
