I think your sister is wrong like everyone else on here said. That's actually the main reason i dont want to tell my family until much much later.

I'm not really a secretive person and i drop a lot of hits but this is something im doing for me. Im happy to fix my problem on my own since i lived it on my own for so long

Just a note on transitioning alone.  I tried this a couple times during my travels.  I couldn't do it.  When I questioned things, there was no support group or therapist or friend I could work things through. So those doubts became reasons to quit, which then led me to quit.

Now, I'm owning this with a large support system.  It's the only way I think I can break through.

Everybody is different, I recognize my failings and hope to help anybody avoid those same failings of I can.  I could be weak, and everyone else could be stronger in this front, but just in case you are like me, the warning.

Sweetie, you look fabulous, and your sister now has competition.

Shes not going to like that, as she's obviously an alpha, and sibling rivalry is a cruel beast.

I dont think makes you or anyone weak. Youre just being honest. Its completely understandable to doubt ourselves and even though im not out to my family im also not alone. On the "family" front im alone but i have supportive friends and im working on getting into a support group too.

She said that she supports me but she thinks this is a mistake and that I won't ever be able to pass as a women to strangers like I would want and that I would be visibly trans.

I was thinking before that even though I don't look great now that maybe hrt would be enough be she has me doubting hard. What do you guys think about my face. Am I gonna need ffs like she thinks to pass and maybe go somewhat stealth one day?

Courtney, you are beautiful and could certainly pass as who you really are.  I only hope is hrt will get me even close to your passability.
Hugs, Jess 💁

That's great.  I'm meeting with a second support group's leader today.  Since I have two groups in my town, and they meet different days, might as well do both!

My sister wasn't very supportive in the beginning. Eventually she just sort of tolerated it. She has never liked any of my FB pictures since I started wearing girl clothes or makeup. I recently moved to another state, and one night I was feeling lonely and high anxiety so I decided to live stream on FB for the first time. I just got on and started doing my makeup and spoke with the handful of people that decided to watch. My sister ended up watching the replay and commented, "You're adorable!" It meant the world to me! I finally felt like she accepted me.
