Hi everyone,
Well the time has come for me to come out to my sister. She is coming to visit for the 4 of July. I have not seen her in 5 years so I know that I have changed a lot. I am one year on HRT. I am married for 30 years and my wife supports me in every way. I am at the point that trying to hide my boobs is almost impossible unless I wear a very baggy shirt. I wear female clothing all the time even to work. I am not out but I get lots of looks so I am sure a lot of people have guessed that I am trans. Wish me luck
Happy 4 of JULY Everyone

Best of luck to you Kristy! I too am coming out to my sister this weekend. In fact tomorrow is the big day. I'm still early in HRT-- wanted to talk to her before changes became apparent. I believe she'll be supportive, but there really is no way to know until we're into the conversation.

that's very encouraging Kristy:) I haven't mentioned anything to my sister yet, and am kinda dreading it. She did help me move to a new apartment over the weekend, and noticed a lighted makeup mirror, some wild nail decals I got from Amazon, (which I nervously claimed no knowledge of..but she did laughingly ask me if I was a crossdresser) I had also mentioned to her earlier that I had a transgendered friend on facebook, and talked about an assessment I took once that showed me as being highly androgynous. She just repeated what she had said weeks earlier when I brought up Kaitlyn Jenner in conversation.. "to each, their own" So perhaps my coming out will not be the bad experience I am so concerned about.
I feel very happy for you Kristy!
