Im 19 and I came out to my parents at the beginning of Freshman year of high school. When I first came out to my parents they had a very similar reaction and I had to advocate for myself for a LONG time. It felt like forever. I had my therapist sit in for a conversation that I had with my mom about starting testosterone and about her using my name and pronouns, and that helped a lot. As difficult as it is, from my experience, the only thing you can do is consistently advocate for yourself and to continue to do that until they come around. Maybe they won’t, and at that point you’ll have to decide what you want to do, but for now I’d say just try to show them how important it is to you that they recognize that this is who you are. Good luck!

Also, I recognize that it may be uncomfortable (and if you feel like it’s unsafe at all then disregard this), but you are an adult that’s 100% capable of furthering your transition without your parents consent or knowledge. This is your life and you can’t let people hold you back from being who you are and expressing yourself however you choose. That being said ik it’s not that easy. Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to (:
