It really depends on what aspects of life will get worse. Can you elaborate?

>>43245112
I mean my life is pretty shit, and went from hard to even harder especially the second time transitioning , but if youre always waiting on a time when it’s better that’s never going to happen, take a leap of faith

i have no car or means to transport myself and no local friends. nobody at my job respects me already, and my family won’t accept me transitioning. i have estrogen in my house and did 2 shots but chickened out once my boobs started growing and i’m trying to know if that was the right choice (for now, at least)

i struggle to imagine a future as a man, but i also struggle to imagine being happy while trans without a drastic uprooting of my life (i’m working on it)

sounds like its only external factors that are holding you back.
if you are worried about being disowned and ending up homeless it makes sense to want to wait but there may not come a perfect moment for you to start transition. its definitely a leap of faith.
have you tried testing the waters at all with your family? how have they shown you that they would not accept you transitioning?

ive tested the waters but nothing really comes of it. i say out loud “i don’t want to be a man” and just get treated like a child and they forget the next day. my family is very overprotective and controlling and refuses to help me become a real adult. i’m basically a pet fish or something i’m just encouraged to be a neet forever and they get very mad if i do anything “dangerous” or “risky”, so they’d be furious about the syringes and estradiol and wouldnt help me transition anyways

assuming the worst they would do is take away your hrt, you could always just do the shots without telling them, they might not notice for a while even if the changes are obvious to you. or if you want to tell them just say that youre taking pills if the syringe would be a bigger deal to them than the hormones.
i trust that you can make the right decision for yourself. youre strong enough to transition even if you have to do it yourself.

that’s what i originally intended to do but my breasts grew too fast and i started getting scared because i’m not really prepared to deal with that at all

could i lower my estrogen dose to do something without growing boobs?? maybe?

>>43245561
no
afaik only raloxifene can prevent breast growth, low doseage just slows things down a bit
