I'm a guy and I'm getting more and more intense dysphoria everyday. The problem is my parents are very religious and conservative and I'm afraid they'd hate me for transitioning. They seem to respect trans people as in not outright hate them but I'm not sure they'd like it for their child. So I came up with two plans:
A
>Get whatever career I want
>Get my own home
>Start transition
>Never contact them again
B
>Get a high prestige career like aeronautic engineering because I'm autistic enough to do it
>Explain myself thoroughly to them, say they should respect my individual rights and all that shit
>Possibly my professional achievements help them accept my transition because they're like that
>Maybe switch to another career
First one is riskless but I really don't want to lose contact with them. With the second one I could either maintain contact or get into a bunch of shit for nothing and lose contact the same way. Yes, they're assholes but I love them.
Which one is a better choice? If you have any other ideas please tell me.

Become a beautiful passin woman so that they have no choice but to realize you're serious and accept u

Religious and conservative =/= transphobic in all cases, you said yourself that they seem to respect them. Just come out about it and tell them that it's important to you, I'm sure they care more about your well-being. No need to work yourself to death while already fucked up from dysphoria just to make your case better.

Do you expect your parents to disown you or anything?

Same position here mate. Ultra catholic mother, atheist but conservative father. Both have said multiple times that they think transgender people are "gross", "sinful", and "mentally deranged". My plan is to repress it as long as I can, get out of the house, move across country, and try to lessen dysphoria as much as i can. Of course by that time i'll be like 30 and a hon but its something

Why do you want / need to move across the country? get a job, get a cheap place, transition.

You could always just drop hints or bring up the topic and see how they react then decide if you want to drop the ball or become independant first

I want to be as far from my family as possible before I come out

>>7020783
So then you're intending to cut ties with them yourself?
>>
>>7020982
Basically yes. They're not good people at all

Ah, in which case who gives a shit about what they think? Do what you want to do to get your life going and become independent then start transitioning if starting while still with them will be that much of a problem.
