Family trans issues

This May I came out to my parents as a trans girl. Their first thing they asked was if I like guys now. I didn't know how to answer that without a fight so I just laughed and avoided the question. I'm still exploring if I'm a lesbian or bi. Ever since I came out to them they just started to lie to me a bunch and betray my trust over and over. They come up with random reasons why they do stuff, but I know it's because they hate that I'm trans instead of their little straight mormon boy. I don't know how to handle them or anything and as I've been expressing my femininity, they've only gotten worse and I'm scared to tell them that I want to get stuff like HRT (hormones) and SRS (sex change). Any tips?

If you don't feel safe. don't do it. I would personally wait until your personally financially stable and don't need their help anymore. Best of luck on your transition!!

My mother doesn’t think I’m trans
I told my mom I’m trans a few days ago and she said she doesn’t think I’m trans and she even found an article about how autistic people may struggle with their gender identity. She doesn’t even know what’s going on in my mind yet she acts like she does. What do I do?

What do you if you're gay/lesbian and in a homophobic environment?
My family (even my extended family) are homophobic and the here is problem I'm lesbian. I haven't come out to them but dropped somewhat subtle hints. My dad is pretty homophobic and my mom would disapprove of me having a crush on anyone, let alone a girl. Generally everyone in my family would disgusted/confused/homophobic if I ever came out. On top of that, the girl I have a crush on is my best friend. She has shown signs of liking me back. Most of my friends know I have a crush on her, but I just haven't officially come out to them (they already kind of know). How am I supposed to come out to my family?

How do you come out to your parents that you are a femboy?
I found out that I was a femboy 6 months ago and I wanted some girl clothing. I’ve been wanting to ask my parents for some but that would be weird. I wanted to come out but I don’t know how to. Help?
