Cheapest way to go about transitioning

I don't have much unless you can count video games and devices. But many of my play stations (original and ps2) and my n64 was stolen. As well as 2 of my game boy advances and many of the game cartridges. I still have a limited edition lime green ds lite, a regular black dsi and a limited edition zelda ds3D
I guess I don't need different devices that do almost the same thing.
And my wii is broken from when me and my brother had a fight and he slammed me into the game cupboard and broke the Xbox kinect and wii and something else, lol.

And I'm a 36C almost a full D but I still wear smaller sizes to try to shrink them (my lesbian sis told me how she kept an A cup when most of her family has D+)
I'm getting a feely feel.. A feely feel that feels.... Feely O.o

I would actually break transition down into social, legal, and medical. You would probably be able to do the social and some of the legal for almost nothing compared to the medical. Pretty much come out to everybody and get your name changed. If you're speaking specifically of hormones. Try to get insurance to cover hormones with tests going as endocrine disorder undetermined.

The thing is, my dad doesn't have very good health insurance, and it hardly covers anything.
And I'm working on telling everyone, but I'm not sure at what age I can legally change my name.
And there are people I have to be weary about telling. I'd be in mortal danger~ lol. But seriously, yeah, I can't tell everyone. But I can tell most people of my immediate family (except my dad, he'll just shrug it off again) and some of my extended family.

OK so medical transition is probably out of the question for now, but not impossible.
So you can still legally and socially transition.  I don't know where you live but here you can change your name at any age with your parents permission and over 18 without it, but I think it's much harder in other places, here it's just a form and £11, America seems to be much more complicated and requiring court orders and things in some places.
Social transition is going to be dangerous for some people at any time.  You'll have to weigh up the risks and benefits of coming out to people.

My sister was out on the streets at 16 just for being gay, she ended up living with my school's principle just so she could go to school. I know not to tell her dad.
And I'm not too worried about medically transitioning right at this moment.

I think I saw one post on this site where someone said they had to get a birth certificate, court order, etc. but that was him or her trying to change their name outside of the state they were born in.

I've always been pampered since I was adopted. expensive brands, getting anything I ever desired, books, art supplies costing over thousands, having the master bedroom of the house, everything. But I'm not used to havi no money at my expense like now. I even have a real leather Prada case just for my art supplies, and Gucci belt that I've never even wore.
I don't even know clothes that are cheap, or anything.

thats pretty much a luxery problem,
I got the opposite,
but if you really wanna have money for those things then you must cut of something,
if theres something you REALLY REALLY want but you know you dont have money for it(and its from the net), then save the link, and wait and get it later when you have money for it.
thats what I do to try save my temtation to use my money.

social is the only cheap point, its generally for free, when I talk about money issue I sure mention it in homones and surgery points.
But I think socially transition is the most important one so I think you should start out with that.

Yeah, sorry that's not going to work, your sister just happens to have a different body than other people.  Get a job, work your ass off, save everything.  That's how I got my therapist, plus the trip there (3+ hour drive there and back), endo (extra cost for first visit), prescriptions, name change, etc paid for.  I didn't have anything to sell but it sounds like you do and should sell it, even the broken Wii could probably bring in some funds on ebay.  Keep an eye open for guys who have recently had top surgery and are giving away their binders (usually for free or cost of shipping), wash in hot water to kill the germs. 

And yes, if you want to pass and are not medically transitioned at all and are really female looking (like you've said) make-up would not be a good idea.

I love my eyeliner though lol

Yeah, I've been wearing B size top undergarments for 3 years and they are only getting bigger.....
I'm not old enough to work where I live. And by time I do get old enough, my classes are too important and I am not really suited for working until 11pm or later for a job during high school like my siblings and failing classes because they did not have any time to do it after school
I'm an A+ average student, I couldn't afford to get any bad grades. To me, a B (90% correct)strands for Bad.
But thank you greatly for the information. :)

oh and I'm not really sure who would want a broken wii??

My advice is to wait until after you leave high school to transition.  It sounds like you are not ready and it could be dangerous for you (regarding your dad and family).  One you leave high school, get a job, move out, and do all the things I mentioned in my previous comment if you want to transition.  It takes hard work and sacrifice to transition.

I haven't a backbone at all. :icon_shrug_no:
I try to assert myself and state what i want and that im adamant to do whatever to achieve my wishes but my inferiority complex always seems to convince me that I should just give up and bend to fit other people's wants.
Step 1: Grow a backbone and defeat the inferiority complex.

Look on eBay, you'd be surprised.  I know it's not the same, but the other week we sold a broken mixer (which couldn't be repaired, only used for parts) to someone who lived in Germany for £70, who then paid for a courier to collect it because we wouldn't ship to Germany.  People pay crazy amounts for broken things, even if it doesn't make sense to you why.

And how do you sell things online? It seems absurd, to give your address online. Could a teenager do it?
I have a credit card, that's about it. Lol.

You don't give your address online.  Go take a look at ebay so you can get an idea of how it works. here I searched "broken wii" http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=broken+wii&_sacat=0

you list an item with a starting price and an end date, people bid on it, the highest bidder at time of auction ending wins. They pay you, they give you their address, you send them the item.

Oh okay. I just checked, I have to be 18 or older.
I'll just use my sister's credit card #. It was stolen anyway, it shouldn't matter.

That ds and maybe about 30 games i havent played since seventh grade, and are almost completely new would probably be the only thing I'd be willing to sell. Lol

Don't sell the games with the DS, you can probably get more if you break them all up.

My sister said I'd have to convince my dad to let me sell things even if he wasn't the one who bought them.

Oh! I also have this horrid, terrifying cat doll that my step-grandmother gave me for Christmas like years ago. It scares the ->-bleeped-<- out of me, I'd be happy to give THAT away. Lol.
