I've been thinking of getting hormones, but that might be such a hassle and also, having to come out to my family, absolutely fucking not no no no no no no. My parents are very nice to me, they're really cool, except they are republican level conservatives and transphobes. I also have no means of supporting myself yet, and even if I had, i wouldn't want to cut ties with them, even if they say some of the worst transphobic shit I've ever heard. Some times I want to just lash out and point everything that's wrong with what they say, but I know they don't care.
Depends on the hrt you'd be getting, you can take E for a while before it becomes obvious (a year+ sometimes). T is much faster.
That's interesting, maybe I can start the process as soon as I'm more independent of them
I was surprised by how much of a non-hassle it was (informed consent clinics are great <3 sorry to all the people in places where that isn't an option - hopefully Texas doesn't do anything to make it more difficult). Virtual appointment for the next day + getting bloodwork done at labcorp (which might be a couple doors from where I work, so I can just pop over there and get it done).
But I don't live with my parents and out to the family I live with (well, I thought so... my cousin was still somehow surprised when I told him I started HRT even though I had told them I might start like a week before). I still plan to come out to them, but I'd probably wouldn't if I was dependent on them. And one of them tries pretty hard to not be transphobic (kinda surprised given her other politics) and I think suspects I'm trans anyways (she has asked if I was a woman without being overly hostile about it). Hopefully you can get to the point where you aren't as dependent soon.
I'm not in the US, i would need to go see how to get to it in herr. Probably going to be more independent towards the end of the year, as I'm graduating and looking for a job.
