Uh, so as the title says, I want to use cotton fabric rolls as a way to compress down my breasts as a way to hide their growths from my parents (whom i have to visit soon). I tried buying binders made for transmascs, however, I didn't find an option that fit my ribcage (which I am finding out is actually really large). Then, with the wrap, I can wear 2 layers of shirt (I'll claim it's a fashion thing) on top of that. I'm not quite sure how well it will work.

Alternatively, I also now have 4 sports bras with removal pads. The problem with the sports bras is that while I can easily explain bringing along rolls of Bandages, bringing along bras would wierd them out a lot and raise questions. Idk how to hide any bras I bring along, since my mom always goes through my stuff.

I'm also really not sure how I am supposed to hide my hormone supplies. What I've come up with so far is to pre-prepare supplies, put them in a padded metal box. Then once I get to my parents, I bury them in the ground somewhere in whatever woods they have nearby. I can then go there whenever I want, do the hormones in secret. The only problem I can think of is how to handle transporting the injections. Should I bring along the vial, or should I pre-prepare shots?

The more I type shit out, the more I'm thinking to myself what kind of spy bullshit am I even trying to do. Instead of coming out the closet, I'm doing this nonsense.

my mom always goes through my stuff

this is abuse. please consider prioritising your own needs and either set some proper boundaries with your parents in a very direct and frank way or don't visit them if this is the kind of shit you have to put up with. you deserve better. my heart goes out to you, it makes me so sad to read posts like this. you have to stand up for yourself even if it's going to damage the relationship, this dynamic is not tenable in the long term. you don't owe them these kinds of accommodations at the cost of your happiness. please consider your own well-being here.

My little brother is too lonely. I have to be there for him. He isn't doing well. I'll handle the situation until next summer, by which time I will probably come out.

very understandable reason to go. I'm glad to hear you have plans to come out. wish you all the best navigating this cuddle
