Personally? I said fuck it and started hrt anyways and just didn’t tell them. But that wasn’t exactly a move I made with much planning and if they did find out they’re not transphobic so there wouldn’t be any actual consequences other than awkwardness. I was just too dysphoric to not do it. So it depends on your circumstances but as long as it’s not a question of safety or financial security you gotta ask yourself how much are you willing to compromise your own happiness for theirs.

strongly recommend against staying in a hotel, save that money for actually being able to move out. it'll definitely depend, but you should have a good couple months on hrt before the changes get too undeniable. if you're in the financial position, you could use that time to save up enough for moving out. also you could look for trans/lgbt roommates in your area to save more money

You can start hormones and be on them for a while without anyone noticing, especially estrogen.
