Hello, I'm not very good with introductions but...My(Trans) Name is Joanna and I'm 18. Right now I'm not taking any meds or anything at the moment but I will soon, I really really want to transition from mtf. I don't like being called a boy or anything related to male. I have a kinda, if not super strict family. I'm kind of fearful about transitioning around them because they might make fun of me. Well this is all for now. I usually get on kik so if anyone wants to chat feel free to anytime. DarkGoth4 : kik

Welcome to Susan's Place. At some point your family will become aware of the transition. A few family to reject the person transitioning but most maintain some form of contact. My family took a long time to fully accept me but we remained on speaking terms and I was able to return home for the holidays without issues. You really don't know exactly what your family will do until you come out to them and I hope you find them to be accepting of you.
If I can help you, let me know.

Hello and welcome :)
Have a heart, too 💖 :)
Here are a few resources :

Well there is a chat on susans, too :)
And you might say with the help of a therapist you can do easy reversible steps first and see how they make you feel, and proceed this way.
Another way might be informed consent, yet quite a few people say a good therapist may be helpful.
hugs

Welcome from one Joanna to another.
Dena and Laura_7 have great comments and advice.
I would highly encourage some form of therapy as well.
Good luck and we will see you about here. I hope you have a smooth journey.
With warmth,
Joanna
