I have made up my mind. I'm going to talk to my parents over Spring break. I have my train ticket, I have taken off work, I've set this goal for myself. The only thing left to do is follow through.

I'm debating about where to talk to them though. They are picking me up in KC and my dad is staying there during the week to work. If I don't tell them the day I'm picked up I might not be able to talk to them both at once until I leave again. I guess I'll have to play it by ear and figure it out as I go along. I don't really want to do it in public though..

No matter how they react though I'm starting T. I know my sister wants me to wait and let things go over smoothly. But I've waited long enough. I think if I waited for their approval to start T it would take years. Maybe this is selfish of me, but I can't let my fear of disappointing them hold me back any longer. Telling them I'm transgender before starting T is important for me, but waiting for their blessing is not.

transitioning is a selfish thing, but you shouldn't feel bad about it. the way i see it is that, at the end of the day, you have to deal with you and your decisions because it's your life. if other people can't accept that, then that is their problem. who knows though, maybe it will go over better than expected. there is a lot of resources for parents, and even how to come out to them. you'll be okay, just know that if you keep waiting for everyones approval, you might not ever go through with it so deciding to go on t even if they aren't cool with it is a good choice imo. we wait too long sometimes, wanting the "right time" or worrying about the reaction people give us but honestly, there is no right time, and people will surprise you.
