I've been real frustrated lately; can't get a binder, parents won't let me take T, can't find a proper trans psychiatrist to help me along the way. Someone give me words of encouragement. :-\ Please.
I would say that you are still under their roof. You will be on your own soon enough and then you can do what you need to.
Say focused on finding you way to being independent.
Things will get better once you're able to move out and make your own choices. :)

While I haven't seen her, someone here referred me to Dr. Carol Clark who will see patients online or by phone, and from what I've heard she's quite affordable.
Don't know what to say really except there are plenty who have been in that situation before you and there will be plenty to go through it after you. Now is the time to focus on planning your future and gaining your independence. Your time will come. Just keep looking forward.
This is the golden time to make he plans for what you want to do in life. What skills will you need to be you? How are you going to cover the expenses? What are your goals?
Sit back and make notes about them. Think through what you want to achieve and not only ways of doing them but think of skills you need to achieve them and start thinking how to acquire them.
It is time well spent and will set you up for when you can run your own life. As soon as you have goals you have a destiny and can start to full fill it without waiting for others to do stuff for you.
As a young man think of the future and get ready to be the guy you want to be.

I feel you, I've only now gotten to the point that my mother doesn't throw out all my boxers. Still have to hear that sickening birth name in my own house, still have to be she and her and daughter, still have her flip out at any mention of it. She still says it's in my head and I made that choice. Yes, because this is the latest fashion and I really just love the idea of torturing myself for a fashion statement- me, the kid who never gave a flip what anyone thought of what I wore or said or did? Get the hell outta here.
See, you're lucky though, I saw your picture and wouldn't ever think girl if I saw you on the street. Unless there's some sort of neon sign attached to you that says "I AM BIOLOGICALLY FEMALE" or something ridiculous like that, I don't see how you can't pass, maybe unless you've got someone outing you everywhere like my well-meaning friends I haven't come out to yet (working on it, was busy).
Anyway. Plan-making is a good thing, this is a great time to get a jumpstart on that. Also setting your mind on the future helps you get through the present, so keep a clear and realistic goal in mind. You can do this, man.
