    I am out a little but not to many friends or family. I know I want hrt but I don't want anyone questioning my voice and stuff.

    Definitely start working on your voice when you're alone. That seems like the major thing HRT does little to nothing about. :frowning2:

    This might sound strange but slow down a bit like Kakashi said work on your female voice but also check into therapy if your still in school? check with a trusted administrator or teacher they might know of a therapist

    The thing about transition is that it doesn't happen overnight. Start working on what you can now, even before HRT. Voice, clothes, haircut/ style. The road to getting on hormones is a long one, and depending on where you live, some places won't even began hormones until you have been living as your correct gender for a year! So definitely find a therapist/ counselor etc ASAP :slight_smile: And depending on age, think about coming out to your parents if you're under 18 and/or still living at home. Best to start easing them into the situation slowly.
