Becoming a Transsexual ?
I am currently 15 years old and realized that I wanted to be a girl at an early age i can't even remember. I've struggled every day being a guy and I am afraid the older i get the more masculine I will look, what i want to know is when i can take hormones w/o my parents opinion(they do not know and would not accept of this) the earlier the better so i can have more of a chance as passing of as a girl when i make the change. Any advice on this or opinions would be nice, its pretty rough and i could use some support.

You cannot become a transsexual. Transsexualism is an inborn state. You have to be a transsexual long before you transition or get the surgery. After surgery, you are simply a woman. Transsexualism is not a goal, but a condition to fix.
Yes, the earlier you get started working on correcting your birth defect, the better. Some teens do slip off and take female hormones that were not prescribed to them in secret. This is not wise, due to health risks, but it is understandable why they do it. If you were to do so, your parents would know.
Your parents might be more helpful in this than you give them credit for. I don't know exactly what to advise.
Stay away from Laura's Playground or any site that refers to this a TG, or which also helps LGBTs, CDers, and various men who pretend to be women on the same site. Look instead for sites that view TSs as separate and different from CDs, TGs, LGBTs, etc, and which view TSs as mainstream women who are simply fixing a birth defect.
Stay away from anyone who puts too much emphasis on the SOC or WPATH. One reason they put standards in place for teens is to turn teens into half-male, half-female freaks and damaged goods which cannot assimilate into society. This is in order to keep the TG community strong at the expense of mainstreamist TSs. For TSs to pass perfectly well would be to weaken the movement of TG men who pretend to be women. So that is why teens cannot get on estrogen easily.
You're 15. Go to therapy for a while and talk about it, don't cut off your dick. A lot of people that are in your position often outgrow these feelings. Plus the surgery often times does not fix any problems. Also, you're never going to be a biological female, It's impossible.
equivalent to sexual orientation, one does no longer pick their gender identity. Being transsexual isn't something you may grow to be, you both are or you aren't to any extent further. you may keep away from the project, yet you may't keep away from being one in case you extremely are. keeping off the project makes the situation worse. that is incurable, continual, and doubtlessly all eating as a conflict in case you attempt to face up to it. that is remarkable to in straightforward words be open with your self, others, and the international. Do you own study and also you'll discover that outdoors of the religiously triggered quacks and their witch wellbeing care specialist magic, that the in straightforward words effectual medical look after actual and extreme gender identity conflict is transition from one sex to the different. it truly is the in straightforward words tried and actual, shown frame of mind to alleviate the rigidity, concern, soreness, self-loathing, et cetera linked with gender dysphoria. Its innate. My recommend to anybody scuffling with that conflict is to work out a therapist and prepare your self on the actual medical reality of transsexuality. Reparative remedy helps no man or woman, as anybody mission it remains trans or gay yet they in basic terms repress it and stay in misery with it. some people could be helped, maximum can't and that i do not advise it.
Don't panic about the effects of testosterone vs. estrogen. When an MtF goes on estrogen therapy in their late teens or early twenties, their body responds very well to the therapy and usually become quite passable. You are way ahead of someone such as myself who started hormones in their late 40's.
