What do you need your families support for top surgery? For them to pay for it or be on their insurance?

I can barely take care of myself / cook food / etc. when I'm healthy, I will definitely need help with that when recovering from a big surgery...

Currently, I also live off their money as my own part-time job does not pay enough, but I hope that somewhen in the future, I get a better-paying job. (Or maybe instead the economy collapses and I never find employment again and go die, that's probably the more likely ) Maybe then, I can save up some money. Good point.

Is that possible for the hormones, too? Paying for them out of my own money instead of insurance? Or are the only options either going through whatever processes the insurance needs, or buying it from shady places online? I looked up "informed consent", thanks to someone on here suggesting it, but unfortunately that way doesn't seem to be offered in this country

And everything else aside, just having them navigate all the bureaucratic mess and schedule appointments would be incredibly helpful, they got much more experience with how to get these system to do what you need them to, if they were on my side, I probably already could have started transitioning

I hope your family comes around

Small hope that maybe I can somehow convince my mother, at least she doesn't actively hate trans people
