My sister is cruel. She doesn’t know I’m trans yet, she is pretty progressive, 3 years younger than me, but extremely cruel. During easter breakfast with my family she straight up said “why is your hair so long”. I didn’t answer, her tone was not like a genuine question but like trying to attack me.

Context: I’m growing my hair out rn, I didn’t get a haircut in a long time because I’m scared they’ll screw it up or make it masculine. I have to get through the awkward phase.

So I had asked her what’s her deal. She was rambling about something and told me I’m sub 5. This was not the first time she called me ugly. So if I really look so ugly irl, I think I might actually just become a hon at best. My parents nor my sister don’t suspect anything. It is genuine ropefuel when they refer to me as a guy, and I get reminded of what people perceive me as. I’m usually able to delude myself into thinking I’m feminine already by avoiding mirrors. But the fact that my sister treats me as a guy, even stereotypes me with guys, is so much ropefuel. Even when looking at her I realize it could’ve been me, and it hurts so much. I was hopeful that I could come out to her after starting HRT, but I think she’ll just laugh me off if I do so.

Genuinely, do yall think I should ever come out to her?

      I’m year 3 of highschool. It’d be completely unusual for me to suddenly start talking with people I’ve never talked with. I’d also probably get picked on much more. And my two friends expect me to talk with them, because we have like a trio friend group, I usually stay with them all the time. And they’re kinda neutral, not overly masculine, more withdrawn, more weird, kind of like me. I’m basically stuck in my social position, and I’m too awkward to start friendships unnaturally.

        you should probably try and get off of here since youre so young. you can definitely make new friends when i was in high school i didnt make most of my friends until my third year you definitely should be open about being trans though i think that will probably be beneficial

              that’s crazy to me. the one openly trans person in my high school got beat up and harassed until she stopped going to school.

                idk i guess i got lucky people gave me problems infrequently like i got threatened but never actually beaten up when i said beneficial i mean like boymoding will damage your brain which makes it harder to socialize if that makes sense

                  yeah makes sense. as long as it’s safe it’s probably worth doing. glad it worked out for you
