make the appointment and then you’ll have a deadline to come out to her instead of being stuck in limbo

That’s fair. But like you gotta think about whether you wanna prioritize your happiness or hers. Especially when it isn’t a question of material safety. Also tbh you could just start now, and come out later, but lie about when you started hrt and make her think it was after you told her

this was me too. i didnt tell her or my dad for like a year, didnt lie but... they noticed. just have the convo. she will appreciate it. it is mostly for her. but my mom still brings it up years later. i’m just a private sort of person but insurance stuff eventually forced my hand, and i think shes still hurt by it.
