Since then, however, she's been nothing but negative about my transition, especially since I've started T (less than a month ago). I tell her that I feel happier and more grounded, I have more energy, etc., and all I get in return is her assertion that I will run into problems later on, in terms of dating, social acceptance, sexuality, etc.

I'm feeling just a little bit resentful that she has picked now to suddenly turn around and question my resolve.
