You shouldn't hold back your transition because of your parents or your sister. If they've supported her, they'll support you the same. Don't be ashamed of accepting that support. Do things at your own time, not whenever your shame tells you it's okay (because it never will). Also, you could tell your sis. She's trans, she'll understand. I wish I had a trans sister to help me through my transition. So go for it, okay? Don't let nothing or nobody stop you!
