That's good that you've taken those steps, Eva. Although there's still a chance your parents will change their position, it's best to prepare for all possible outcomes to this situation so that you can be safe rather than sorry. And I suppose if they've been supportive for most of your life, but have become increasingly disappointed and angry with you since you've started exploring who you really are, then they are probably still stuck with their perception of who they think you should be and who they expect you to be, rather than who you really are. I'm assuming they don't understand that the reason your grades lowered and the reason other elements of your life got so out of hand was only because you were trying to suppress who you really are. Maybe if they understood the consequences of suppressing your true self, they would re-think their position at least a little bit. I imagine it's very hard to reason with them at the moment, though, and very hard to get them to consider things from your point of view.

I could use some advice, anything will do.

I was removed from the family home at the age of two...When I was 15 my grandmother spoke to me on the phone (a privilege I was allowed) she told me how she mourned the "beautiful boy" I was?  I was traumatized by her comments.  I loved my grandmother...How could she mourn me?  She didn't know me.  She didn't stop me from being removed as an infant.

Families don't own us, and we don't own them.  if there is true love there should be true support.

Sadly, it is common this rejection.  I can understand why some (here) would not transition because of the threats of abandonment.  For me, I had no choice...
