I feel stuck bc I wanna start HRT but I am reliant on my conservative Christian parents financially at the moment while getting through school but I am scared it’ll be so long until I’m completely financially independent.

Rn I’m 22 and starting grad school soon. So realistically I’d be able to start at 25ish. Is that too late?

They might be referring to T, they didn't say their gender. If they're looking for estrogenizing hrt and can afford a binder & the hrt, I 100% agree with you that it's possible (but risky). I'd never suggest it for someone who wants to start T though, because the voice changes will just out you within a year basically no matter what

yeahh i’m on T without talking to my parents and it was for sure a choice. they do know now bcs they found out before changes were noticeable, but i told them i stopped which isn’t very believable as my voice has deepened and stuff lol…. tbf i’m not the smartest about this stuff though
