Post Body

I'm AFAB (assigned female at birth), but am agender, lean transmasculine. I have mild to severe dysphoria depending on the day, enough so that I want to start living as male. As of now, I can't obviously pass, as I have larger breasts that don't go down noticeably enough for me when I've worn a binder. I feel crappy about myself, and am fairly certain starting testosterone and getting top surgery would make me feel better.

However, most of my family and closer friends are pretty conservative and, though I haven't heard their views on trans people, are fairly homophobic, so they probably wouldn't be thrilled if they heard about me. I'm still pretty close to my family, and am not in a secure enough financial situation to fully break off from them, so I don't feel safe enough going to far on transitioning until I have enough to fully "get away".

I'm currently in college and have a job, but am living on campus and will move back with my parents for the summer. I've got a place secured for the next school year that I'll pay with my own money (rather than my parents, who I have been slowly paying back since I've been in steady employment beginning last May), so I'll be able to live my life then, but I'm still afraid of what people will say if/when they find out. What should I do?
