Should I wait?

I (20 MTF) desperately want to start HRT, but am terrified of how my parents will react and how that will impact my future. I'm in a very privileged position---my parents currently pay for my college tuition and rent---but I'm terrified that if I come out, they'll flip out and stop supporting me financially. When I came out as bisexual a few years ago, they freaked out and wanted me to keep it a secret from everyone I knew including my closest friends (who already knew).

Since then they've been watching more and more Fox News and drifting further and further to the right. I don't know how much transphobia they've absorbed since then and how they'd react to me coming out

I'm studying to enter a field known for underpaying workers and am likely to experience employment discrimination so I want to take advantage of the position I'm in to get as far as I can so I don't have to take on a bunch of debt.

That said, I genuinely don't know how much longer I can go without it. Every day my dysphoria gets worse and worse and dressing fem doesn't help because it just accentuates my masculine features.

Should I go ahead and do it, wait till I'm almost done with college and stealth for the final few months, wait till I'm completely done, or something else entirely?
