How reasonable does this sound?

Since my parents are against me transitioning and since I need to do something before I burst, I was thinking of going the andro route, even if I only have year left until I move out. This'll hopefully hold me and show my feminine beauty. I'm pretty sure I'll only work for holding me though, I wanted to start transition before facial hair, but Im a bit late and I want to do my eyebrows.

It sounds like a good idea. I learned during my transition that you just can't give a **** what people think,  especially "family"

You have to do what makes you happy sweetie :)

Do it!  I actually transitioned gradually by going as andro as I could and then pushing it a little over the line into fem territory until I was comfortably and consistently getting gendered correctly.  Going andro helped a lot.
*Started HRT January 2013
*Name and gender marker changed September 2014
*Approved and issued letters for surgery September 2015
*Surgery Consultation November 2015
*Preop electrolysis October 2016-March 2019
*GRS April 3 2019
I DID IT!!!

For some people going andro might be the best route ever, or at least the most comfortable one (or the least damaging, lol?). If You need to hide what is going on, then andro can provide a lot of options to manifest Yourself, both physically and socially, while at the same time keeping that low profile.
I stand to be corrected, but IMO one of the easiest routes to transition for those who are not acutely desperate is - male-to-andro and only then andro-to-female. It would also match the most typical timeline for those changes under the HRT, as (unless You start young, or are blessed with very feminine features from the begining) they will not instantly turn You into a girl.

I actually did look and sound like a girl when I was little, which sort of irritates me XD. I still have a bit of feminine feature left though.

Thank you all for the support.
