(Idk if this post belongs here, sorry if it doesn't)

So, long story short I'm in a bit of a pickle rn

I'm going to be moving houses soon and my younger sister plans to move in with me to help keep rent low and be closer to some potential jobs, thats all fine (we"re both in our early 20s, but this is her first time moving out from home).

The problem is I'm still in the closet and dont know how or when to tell her im trans... (I only recently came to terms with it)

She will almost certainly be supportive, so im not really worried about that. Its just, I dont think she can keep a secret like that... The rest of the family is extremely transphobic, so im stressing whether or not to tell her, or hide it until i am more ready?

Now if i hide it, i can't experiment with clothes or make-up in my own house :( which have been my only real ways of dealing with dysphoria before now.

But if I tell her, then its highly likely I'll be outed way to early and have to deal with all that family drama bs... (she wouldn't tell them on purpose but has a habbit of being bad with secrets)

Idk... i also feel so bad for agreeing to let her live with me while keeping such a big secret. Im sorta stuck rn :/

Any ideas on what to do? Thanks for reading <3
