So I learned the other day that my cousin is a MTF trans. She (honestly even though I fully support/ feel similarly, it is hard to make the pronoun switch) is early 20s and just came out. I feel like this might be a good time to let her know that I am in full support of her. I could come out to her and maybe it will help. I don't know what a good move is for me but I just thought that it was interesting that they whole time, we have been going through similar experiences without realizing it.

For sure tell her!!!! I love to hear from others that they support me and especially when they know what I am going through too!!!! That is like brownie points there. So if you feel comfortable coming out to her then I would do it!!!! I love bonding with my fellow trans gives me great vibes!!!!

 Hi Britt,

   I think she could probably use all the support she can get at this time. If she is just coming out it can be a time of high stress for her. As long as you feel it is safe for yourself to tell her then go ahead as it could help both of you.
   And oh btw be sure to let her know there is this wonderful support site that is full of people just like her.

Hugs,
   Laurie

As long as you feel it is safe to do so I would definitely suggest coming out to her. This is rare experience that you could really both benefit from sharing together. Would be a wonderful way to show you support her. :)

Much love. <3

Definitely tell her! It's so nice to find someone going through the same thing as you; even better if it's someone in the family.

You can express your support to her even if you don't want to come out

Ah, support her. Help her.  And talk with her about this. Yeah, you to are MTF trans right? Cool. Just do your best to support and help.

OK so I am a little confused on this part. So does that mean you are trans too? Or maybe the other letters? I mean if she is out and you confide in her about yourself then we do not "out" people that confide in us. We just don't do that. 8) One reason is that a lot of us were in before we were out.
