I did tried to come out twice (when I was 15&16 years old) to my Asian parents and seems they did not accept it and threaten to disown me (basically never listen). Now I am far away from them that "theoretically" I can start coming out in school and start the transition (including hormones, I have already purchased but not arrived). However, I afraid they will notice if I started taking hormones (breasts, skin and body shape) and looking feminine (dress, makeup and haircut) because they do regular video chat with me daily.
Because you are a new member here, I would ask you to review the Terms of Service, specifically Rule #8
8. The discussion of hormone replacement therapy(HRT) and it's medications are permitted, with the following limitations:
A. You may not advocate for or against a specific medication or combinations of medication for personal gain. This is strictly prohibited.
B. You may not discuss the means to acquire HRT medications without a prescription. The discussion of self medication without a doctors supervision is prohibited.
C. The discussion of recommended or actual dosages is strongly discouraged to prevent information obtained on this site from being used to self medicate.
We can not in good conscience condone the self administering of these medications. Not only may self medication be illegal, but HRT medications can cause serious health problems, and many have the potential for life-threatening side effects that can only be detected and prevented with proper medical supervision. It is unlikely your parents would be able to see changes in your skin on a video conference. Unfortunately for you, they sound as if they are quite controlling. As long as they are paying the bills, you remain dependent on them. Have you considered student loans, scholarships, and grants-in-aid?
Deception is rarely the best policy.
