Im not able to help much myself since I'm not trans but first of is telling your girlfriend first (if you life under one roof) because shes the one that has to know First, like ask her slowly how she thinks about trans women, or trans people in general and if she doesn't mind them, you can tell her that you don't feel comfortable in your own body and that you feel like transitioning, but take your time dont rush things! Ask her first and then tell her about your transitioning like a day or two after. It's not good for your or your girls health

When I began my transition the first person I spoke to was my girlfriend. I asked her opinions on the matter in general and learned she supported it. A few days later I shared with her what I was going through and how I was feeling. I asked my parents for their opinions on the matter and proceeded the same way. I few days later I spoke to them about it. If you have any trusted friends, definitely speak to them- make sure they understand how you feel and how you intend to proceed. Transitioning isn’t just a journey for you it’s a journey for everyone around you too. It’s not something that can happen over night (as you know) so make sure you allow yourself and others time to think and adjust.
First things I did to present more feminine were to change the way I dressed and to use a different name and pronouns. Everything else followed naturally 🤗
Hope this helps 🤞 If you have any questions please let me know 😄
