?

im turning 18 this year, and when i do, i would like to start seeing a gender therapist, preferably without my parents knowledge. i will still be living with them at the time. my goal is to eventually gain the required approval necessary to start on hrt (mtf). how would i go about starting and doing this? what costs can i expect to see? thank you for your help

i would like to upgrade my graphics card from my NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE due to the fact that it really sucks. how would i go about doing this? would the graphics card i buy have to also be an NVIDIA card? about how much would it cost to do this?

Okay so I play bass ( not super good at it, but I'm learning), and my ex plays guitar and piano. We broke up a couple years ago, but we are on good, only rarely awkward terms now. Also, we have very, very similar tastes in music. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start a band with him. We have another friend that can sing but I'm not exactly sure if it would be a good idea to ask her for a lot of reasons, so we'd have to find a drummer and a singer.

If it is a good idea, how should I ask him to start a band with me?

Okay so I'm questioning my gender and I would like to try wearing makeup so I can see what I would look like if I were more feminine, but I don't currently have access to any. I can't buy any because I don't have money, plus I have no idea what I should buy in the first place? I can't take it from my sisters or my mom because they don't like people using their makeup, not to mention I have no clue how to even put it on. I could ask my mom, but im not sure how she would feel about it, as she doesn't know I'm questioning my gender. So what do I do? I feel like this would really help me to find out who I am, but I don't know how to go about it?

I'm kinda questioning my gender at the moment, and I really want to talk to someone i know about this, but only have 1 actually kind of close trans friend. I'd like to ask him how he knew he wasn't a girl and stuff, and what he did afterward to help himself make the transition, but I don't want to offend him or anything like that. Do you think it'd be okay with him? I know that some trans people don't like to talk about life before transitioning, so I am worried I'd upset him. Thank you
