You know you can still take hrt for a while without letting your parents know, so that you can put more money on the side while living with them... From your face you look very round and soft, I think it will help with passing! Good luck

why thank you serena

I do have a cuddly face to a point. It helps my dysphoria when I have a freshly shaved face and look into a mirror. It does look a little girlish hehe. Soon.

Yea that's my plan. From what I've read online most people went about 6 months without the effects being overly noticeable. So that'd be a good amount of time to save and plan on my moving out. The goal is to last this long an not have my parents think anythings up. The only thing they are suspicious about is that I refuse to get a haircut. Last time I did was in march and my mom took off more than a half inch like she said. So If I get a trim she might take a lot off again. Hopefully not. Other than that I have been doing okay just buying stuff in preparation. When I get a lot of packages at once things get suspicious. Guess I'll have to ease up on that.

I've been for the most part able to run around without any notice with a B cup for the past 6 years on HRT. My basic observation on life after some nearly 60 years on this planet is that there are those that want to be "discovered" and those that don't. If you don't want to be, odds are slim to none you won't be.

Hi Sammi,

You know what you really need is to somehow get your parents to a therapist.  In many ways they need one more than you.   Perhaps an idea you could discuss with your therapist.   I know it would be a long shot but if you could somehow convince them, it might change the whole dynamic.

Just a thought,
Paige 🙂

Even when growing hair out, it's recommended to get a haircut every 8 weeks or so just to take care of split ends and to help with shaping.  Try going out to a salon, or Great Clips or something.  They'll do whatever you ask them to do and nothing more!

Hey Kristina, Yea I could use a trim. I'll probably have my mom trim it once its around sept. time. this way it's only a few months worth of work gone instead of a lot more.

Joanne, that's pretty cool. I hope that's the case for me. I am still fairly big so it might not be as noticeable, but when I do put a bra on under my shirt you can see that they would stick out more as opposed to not wearing one. I wear polo shirts often at work so that would help too as they are a little baggier. If they get out of hand I'll get a binder to really prevent anything.

Hi Paige! I have thought about it and even suggested it to my therapist. Problem is we both agreed that it would most likely not help the situation. My mom is the real troubled one. She won't listen to a word of it and would likely deny anything is her fault. She is often a hypocrite and doesn't like to be wrong. So I feel she would be making things harder on me. Idk honestly. Maybe once I move out and begin my transition. Than I could try to convince them to see someone and hope for the best. It's a hard area to work with.

I thank you all for the nice comments so far! keep them up! It makes my mood much better. Obviously my journey to transitioning is going to be a lot harder than some peoples but not the total worst. Perhaps it's the best. To truly understand how some people do it and live their live; you have to take it through the worst to know how to prevent it for someone else.
