Hehe, I was the exact same way. My sister is the most supportive person in my family, she accepts me 110% and also has given me some of her old clothes (apparently I'm a size 12-14). Same thing happened with the clothing that I ordered online too, only I deliberately had it sent to my sister's house so as not to raise any eyebrows. The mistake I made was bringing it home and throwing the box away in our recycle bin (which for some strange reason my mother found - why was she snooping around in the trash?)
My parents are generally accepting, and again, mainly concerned about discrimination and the ability to hold a job. My father is concerned about losing a son - he's flat out told me that he can't accept me as a woman, nor will he ever consider me his daughter. But he does acknowledge that it's his problem to deal with, not mine, and he's been seeking counseling for it. This surprised me.
Anyway, I seem to have a way of turning all topics onto me. I hate that I do that. So I'll sum up by simply saying congratulations Ellissa! This is probably the hardest milestone to get over, and it's always nice when it sails by with such a sigh of relief!
