How should I ask my parents about hrt?
Hi all:) I am 17 (18 in five months, that's important I promise), trans-masc, and have cis parents. I started thinking about going on testosterone 3 years ago but only came out as nonbinary to my parents around 6 months ago. I am in desperate need of hrt. I can't look down at my hips and thighs ever because they are so curvy (I know T doesn't always fix this but sometimes it does) and every time I speak I get slapped in the face with dysphoria. I briefly mentioned hrt in passing to my mom and she immediately shut it down without even having a direct conversation about it. I haven't tried talking to my dad but he tends to be more supportive than she is. I am going on T when I turn 18 either way but I really need his help with insurance and banking and transportation and all that. I want to talk with him soon but I have no clue what to say and how to make sure it comes across as me asking for help, not permission, but in an understanding and not aggressive manner. If any of you have any tips please let me know, I am freaking out.
