How do I explain what it's like to be trans to my sister

[fringe sorrel]

What did we discuss about

[brave moss]

first, i need a lil context? do you know her to be accepting? has she ever known other trans people? are you just first coming out to her?

[fading plume]

She's religious and seems it as me going against everything she stands for which makes it hard

[brave moss]

hmm

does she not understand what being trans is, or not understand the struggle that comes with it, or not know how to accept trants people?

trans*

Really everything that has to do with it

[brave moss]

Ah. I would maybe share examples of prejudice you have experienced? If people also say mean things to you. Sharing that feeling that you were given the wrong gender, or feeling out of place, or like owning an identity that isn't really yours.

For accepting trans people, maybe tell her to help them feel like they fit, and make sure they know you respect who they are, and see them as they want to be seen. For who they are, not who they used to be. Would she want to walk into a room, and everyone feels a little more uncomfortable and gives you weird looks
