He had been noticing something is up with me lately, as I have been talking in a higher pitch voice and been talking about gender a lot. He lectured me (as big brothers do) while we were alone skiing to not let anyone pressure me for answers, as he had felt family was grilling me on gender questions during thanksgiving dinner. I told him I didn't feel pressured, especially by him, and told him that I have started HRT! He said he supports me no matter what, and asked me if I wanted him to use different pronouns or name! Feels good to have a supportive brother, since the rest of the family won't support me!

Congrats Rebecca, siblings are great!  I'm so happy for you.  Yes, it might be too soon to count out the rest of the family.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different

I know I shouldn't, but they burned me bad in the past when I came out as gay, so my hopes aren't super high. But I appreciate the support!

Congratulations Rebecca. I hope my brother is as supportive when I come out to him.

I do hope the rest of your family can also support you this time round.
