After "lurking" for so long, now I have a reason to post hahah.  ::)

  This year I am turning 20 and I feel like I am ready than ever to tell my family whats up with me.
I started seeing a psychologist couple mouths and I finally felt ready to talk to my sister about how I need to transition and that I have so many things prepared, all thats left is telling them.

     Things went surprinsingly well, I invited her to come with me to a shopping just to change my cellphone subscription, then I convinced her we were thirsty (LOL) and walked to this awesome 40's looking restaurant where we drank milkshake and I told her everything I've been planning lately and how I've been waiting my whole life to do this the best way as possible and I emphasized how their support would be important for me.

   Surprinsingly (or not) the first thing she said was "You like men?" I told her that genre identity has nothing to do with sexual orientation and we went on talking, and we had a little girl talk hahah.
Right now I feel an incridible inner peace and I feel so happy that I pulled this off... I seriously thought she would be a hard cookie.

Now there's mom and dad left <3. I will do this after me and my sister shop for my new stuff :D (Sorry for my bad grammar, english is not my main language :( )

That's great. Try and check in with her again within a week, sometimes people are a bit shocked and go along with it but start to have questions, doubts and other weirdness about it afterwards. The opposite can happen too of course, negative at first but then start to feel better about the idea. The thing we can often forget when outing ourselves is that this has been a thing that has consumed us for many, many years but for many people it just comes out of the blue and they need time themselves (and sometimes guidance) to adjust to the concept. Hope it goes well with your folks.

congratulations! I just told my closest friend. Really, she is my family. I understand that inner peace you are feeling.

I will take Miss Grace's advice too
