You might consider trying to gauge how they feel. One way to do that is to casually say something about Transgender Day of Remembrance, which just happened on 11/20. If they’re sympathetic, it might be better for you than you think. If they’re transphobic stay in the closet until you can get a place of your own. Is there any chance of that happening soon? It would obviously give you more freedom than you’ll ever get at home.
I’d also recommend hitting the forums regularly. There’s a lot of good advice here.
Lastly, gender counseling could help you gain confidence and explore who you are. If there aren’t any near you, many of them now have telemedicine appointments for their distant patients.
Best of luck to you.
