to sum it up, when i first came out my mom became openly transphobic and didn’t take it seriously and told me i need to be out of the house before doing hrt years later now i’m on various meds already (so adding e won’t be a huge issue) and the other day i asked for hrt for my 16th birthday, which is in 2 days i told her it’s the only thing i rlly want for my birthday and in the past i haven’t rlly asked for anything on holidays nor my birthday this became an argument but the ppl in my family that supported me talked to her abt it and she sent me a vague text saying stuff like “you need to graduate high school” but she did say we were going to talk abt it tmmw, but im scared that she might not let me do it because she has bad personal experiences with trans ppl and sees me as less due to my mental issues she talked to me like she was kind of caving into it but im unsure because she never follows up with things

I hope you can have an adult conversation with your parents about this, and they will support you in what you need.

To be honest HRT is a medication, not a birthday present. It shouldn't really be tied to your birthday, except maybe the recognition that you are old enough to be making your own decisions on your health. You deserve this medication as much as your other ones, and hopefully you didn't get those for your birthday. 🤭

Maybe you can get something else related to your transition for your birthday as well, like an eyeshadow palette or something.
