I really really want to start T before I'm eighteen. Unfortunately, I'm running out of time to do so, but I just can't figure out how to actually ask my mom about it. She's really supportive and I'm not worried about her rejecting me or anything as I've been out for well over a year now. It's just that I'm not sure how seriously she takes me. She accepts it and everything but I'm not very outward with my emotions and that's why I don't think she really understands how urgent it is for me to start hrt. Since I'm so awkward when it comes to talking about myself or my needs (especially my trans needs) I really dont know what to say to get her to realize how important this is for me. I'm getting a little desparate, so any advice is welcome! Thanks!  |

I guess maybe you could start by just telling her that you want to start with hormones. You can talk it through with her and hopefully she'll realise that you're serious. If you take a firm but measured line then you probably have the best chance of being taken seriously.

Agreeing with aoife. I'd suggest having information handy, in (the likely)case your parental unit has questions. It'll show that you've done research and have put time and careful thought into this, and there's a better chance she'll take it seriously. Being able to answer questions is good, but also having websites handy for her to read over would be too!
Also, I can understand how you'd feel awkward talking about it, so maybe you could write a note for her, or a letter, expressing how important this is to you?
