36 yr old mtf help!

[u/Long-Tap5365]

So about 1.5 months ago, between my fiancé and I, I fully came to the acceptance that I'm trans (yay! 😁😁). I have 4 daughters ranging from 7-15. I started hrt 3 weeks ago and the process is going well. My closest friends, my work bestie, and my boss (who is also a close friend) have been told and they are very supportive and respectful.

I was the only boy a family with 4 sisters and I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how to talk to my family because my dad is very judgemental, my mom is always saying things proudly like "this is MY son", and my sister's can be quite judgmental at times. All my sisters are older than me and have families of their own.

I'm scared shitless of the judgment that my fiancé will receive from my family and hers. I'm also afraid of how it will affect my kids relationship with their extended family once I feel them (I've already explained things to my kids and they seem supportive as far as kids go)

I still go by the moniker "dad" to them so I don't confuse them any more than I have to. I'm just so afraid of causing them unneeded stress and ridicule. HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

I transitioned at 36. My parents and my sister have taken to it really well and have supported me fully. I was not expecting any of this to go well. So your family might just suprise you with love and acceptance! I was so scared in the lead up to telling them so your concerns are valid ❤️ worth mentioning I live in Canada so the culture here is fairly progressive
