    That is why it is the best thing coz then you have to find a job to live on your own.

    I buy mine online, they are a bit expensive butoveral I get a good deal since I buy them bulk, ignore your fam and buy them. Trust me it's worth it, I've been taking them for a year and it's by the best decision I have ever made. Worst case have them sent to a friend or to work or sonething. Then it's a simple matter if bringing to your place or a place you can take them regularly. You can have a friend hold onto the bulk of it and refresh your supply in hand so it's easier to keep hidden. If you are getting Spiro it comes in a standard bottle my oestriadiol comes in w birth control looking cylinder. If you are f2m well I have no idea what the bottles will look like

    Never self medicate. It is always best to start HRT under a doctor who can carefully monitor your dosing. To little and the effects will take substantially longer, too much and all the excess hormones taken is just passed through your system. But in cases of estrogen therapy, taking more estrogen than your body can handle will simply result in the excess being converted back to testosterone. There is also the effects to your kidneys and liver that need to be monitored as well.

    Order them and have them delivered to a friend's place.

    that sucks and i'm sorry you're going through it. I'm sorry you got shitty comments about it too.
    if you are sure you would be kicked out, I think you should consider waiting to start hrt until you are 18 or in a more stable position, or have some distance from your parents. it's a big risk. I know that probably sounds like a long wait, but in the meantime you can continue to find support in online spaces, and with your friends if they know what you're going through. you may be able to find people online or a friend who can help you get the hormones you want but I would be very cautious going forward. I know a lot of online resources tell you to start as early as possible, but I promise you it's possible to start transitioning at any age and still be a happy adult with a body you like. good luck, friend.

    I had to Google hrt. Hormonal replacement therapy. Are you going to take then as a prelude for a sex change or some other reason? Curious. More info please.

    "Kick you out" wouldn't it be the best thing ever happened to you.
