I told my sister about me today. I was so nervous, because she is the first family member to know. She took to it like a fish to water, it seemed like she knew what I was going to say before I said it. And she is fully supportive. I was so relieved to hear this. We talked about everything after that, about coming out to the family, the transition, costs, name changes, and even the show on Discovery Health. Apparently she saw it (and I missed it) so she knew more about the process than I had anticipated.
Long story short, my circle of support grows, and she can help with the rest of the more close-minded family. That hurdle was perhaps the easiest in a long line of hurdles...
