i just came out to my sister and it was awesome
i wasn't meaning to come out or anything , it was just casual talk and somehow i found myself telling her in real simple words
and i didn't even have to explain a lot , she just stood there and said that i was more of a girl than she is , and that i should leave and transition , just as simple as that
although i tried actually to comeout to her before , and all i could say is saying that i preferred feminine clothes for being more comfortable.

i'm soo indescribably happy , i can't even sleep now . she just accepted , understood without being weirded out or even surprised , i know some might think i'm too excited but this is so big for me and she is my favorite person in the world , and i want to do anything to repay her or anything , idk i'm just so happy

Nope, not too excited at all. Enjoy it.

Glad it worked out for you, that has to be the perfect reaction.

That is wonderful.

That's marvelous.

I have been so surprised about how well my relatives and friends have accepted Cindy, including my sister. She saw a picture of Cindy, we are in different countries, and just replied, yes you are my Sister, we look so alike .

I'm also at the blurting out stage . 'Oh Hi, yes I'm TG, what are you having for lunch '

I think the older you are the fewer problems you have.  One (and it's the most important) you're independent and that leaves a hella lot fewer people around you to even begin to say anything.  Two, the older you get, the fewer things really matter all that much, to you, or to others.  Three, once you no longer 'have your whole life ahead of you' your decisions matter a lot less.

yeah . kinda depressing ,yes? i mean i was just thinking about it . i'm almost 25 which means i have lived more than(or at least the same amount of) what's ahead , and the first 25 which are supposed to be the slower portion was so quick that it really feels like 5 years

anyway , thanks everybody .
when i read now how happy i was then it felt like it was someone else who wrote this, like, i felt really happy for that person who posted this lol, but to explain , as some here might know , due to my location it's impossible to get a positive reaction or acceptance of such 'condition' totally impossible ,i even tried to come out to a 'former' gay friend(who was also "naturally" in the closet)  before and the result was anything but pleasant , so having such a perfect unbelievably smooth 'normal' reaction about it was a big surprise to me , and somehow a great relief as -in such enviroment- i've always had the feeling that there's something 'terrible or wrong' in me since i have to hide it , it's hard to explain . but anyway , her reaction made me not feel that way somehow

You have lots of people over 50 in here.

i do , and it works , but only when i'm around them, thanks

No I was referring to you saying that 25 years (almost) is half your life.  Only if you're unhealthy, or very unlucky, on the average it's about a third.  So don't panic yet.  And, for sure, at least for me, it was the yuckiest third (and that's even considering that up to 25 life was pretty good to not-to-bad) of it so far.

ah i  see (a bit sleepy , sorry) . i'm not so panicking , but it's a possibility though , dying at young age runs in my family and not like a disease but for all different kinds of reasons (dad 40 , aunt 35 , uncle(s) 50&54....)   beginning to think it's like an omen or something lol , so i'm just being cautious . i really hope that i do better in the next 2 thirds , you actually made me think that it's possible to do better^_^
