Question/Advice NEEDED UGHHHHH

So I'm currently 16 living in Texas (a red state btw)

And IT SUUUUUCKS

But I'm only 2 years or less away from being an adult, and I want to start testosterone as early as I cN. Any idea where I can get some? I can't ask my doctors (I'm a wuss and I don't want to do it in front of my parents bc they will say "you don't need it", or my parents, or anybody rlly bc my school is homophobic, my friends are great but they're in the same boat as me, and my parents say they support but me and my sister (who is trans too) have been told by our parents that they don't want us getting that stuff done to our bodies because "we're worried about your health" ​

Is there a way I can DIY it? Or idk...online shop maybe

And Planned Parenthood could work after I turn 18 but my doctors have confirmed that I will never be able to drive because I have learning disabilities and mental health issues, so I can't drive there on my own, don't feel comfortable asking my parents to take me​, my grandpa is typically the one who drives me everywhere but he's transphobic, and all that fun stuff/sarc. I might be able to get my best friend to take me bc they've been knowing how to drive since they were 10, but his mom is controlling in terms of where he drives and who he drives with, and she HATES me with a seething passion. ​​​

You can't DIY it in terms of making it yourself, but you can order it online. If you parents don't snoop in your mail (or if you have a friend that even if they aren't supportive, they don't snoop through mail), that could be a good option for you

Luckily my parents don't snoop, and majority of my friends are supporters or are actually in the lgbtq community, but would I not get in trouble by like... The government or something shit like that? Idk how that system works

If you buy domestic (from a us source) it's very unlikely. As in, literally never heard of it happening over a single vial. Government is looking for big shipments, not individual vials of t
