Your English is great! Not perfect, but good enough to get the idea across, which is what matters in language. Don't apologise for that :)
I know this is hard and scary in the moment, but it's not like you can control anything about their reaction. Older people tend to be a bit more set in their ideas, but if your grandparents really love you they should love you for who you are.
If they can't see that, then that's no big problem for you. The only thing worse than a negative relationship is maintaining a positive one by hiding your true self. If they choose to be nasty and mean, you can try to have a calm conversation with them to show that you're still the same person they've always known. The most important part is time, don't give up on them if it feels hopeless and don't listen to anyone who tells you to cut off contact completely after the first bad interaction.
Thanks! I really needed to hear that <3
