With the help of my therapist I first told it to my mother who took it better than I excpected and together we told it my father (I think he tries to ignore/forget about it when he doesn't see me) and my sister and my brother who help me alot. In my country it's possible to get prescribed hrt and together with my therapist and endocrinologist I'm thinking about switching meds to gel. Not sure about taking spiro along with it. They say i my case I probably can omit a t-blocker.

Its great that you have a therapist who is supportive and can work with your doc, not sure why you wouldnt need a t-blcoker, but thats great if you dont, less drugs the better.

Also great that you told your parents, that takes a lot of courage.

What a great example of how a supportive environment makes such a transition easier. The US has a long way to go on gender issues.

Quoted for truth.

We're a lot better than we were fifty years ago. But that's not saying much, considering how far we still have to go.
