"You're not really gay and trans stop acting like you are" basically. I've told them I am before and they denied it >_>

It sucks your family is so close minded that they can't accept that. 2017 and people are still like this :<

I think my family would be OK with the gay part. I just think some of the things that I post on Twitter and even PC for that matter would definitely leave them cringing and things would never be the same.

Yeah >_>
I'm either "too young" or "its all in my head" but at least they don't kick me out.

hmmm. i have them on fb and they don't say much. but if they were to see my account here or on twitter or tumblr, they'd probably ask a lot of questions like why i'm so open online and chatty and stuff like that.

i've been told my "internet persona" is unhealthily different from my real life self.

I don't really act any differently, so for the most part I doubt they'd be surprised by anything.

My mom would probably wonder where my sanity has gone and say that I shouldn't swear so much online. XD My dad would careless since he doesn't see it as an issue. He's more understanding and less "parental" than my mom. I have them added on Facebook, but I don't really use it a whole lot... so they don't see my internet side.

They would be mildly disappointed for me chatting Pokemon online.

i pretty much act the same way but theyd b pretty concerned that all my friends are significantly older than me
Same here, except towards the opposite end as I am more on the older side.

They would find out i'm not straight for starters, lol. They would probably be creeped out by all the weird crap I post online, but they probably wouldn't care too much because they love me. Honestly, I think they've probably seen my twitter somehow by now and they've never said anything so I guess they don't really care!

I'm quite different online so I think they'd be intrigued by it, and probably laugh too.

I would be very embarrassed if they find some of my more saucy fiction writings, oh my gosh. Luckily they don't care for reading prose and they probably won't care too much me talking about Pokemon since they already know my interest in that already.

i suppose they would wonder why i flagrantly talk about past anal experiences online yet refuse to so much as mention to them anyone i've seen or am seeing
they would also ask just why i am so girly and why i don't express myself to that level irl

to which i will ignore as always!

My parents wouldn't really care. I used to have my dad friended on FB and he doesn't care about the stuff I post or talked about. He just asked why I had so many Pokemon pictures and pages on there and I just explained to him that I never grew out of that stuff.

My mom could care less too, she knows how I am in real life and it's not that much different to myself online. She know I am a weeb and Nintendo fanboy so she realizes that I would just be like that online too. She may not agree with the suggestive stuff I might have on FB or look at in general but she knows it's not her business and never brings it up or gets at me for it.

So pretty much they are very open and cool people who know how I am and accept me no matter what.
