MY sister turned 13 and I might show her VT, but I have some sensitive posts on here. She doesn't even know I'm trans. Should we form a pac? Anything on vt stays on vt?

I think you should first consider whether you want to keep the sensitive posts hidden from your family. If she is close to you and you guys are open about stuff then I think it's a good idea. But there is also a distinct possibility with siblings of loose-talk and no pact works really if they really want to tell the parents. So if you're not comfortable telling your family about being trans yet, I think you should assess these things and if she's not like that then probably make that pact.

Would you have to tell her who you are in here?

She could probably figure it out

Well, sooner or later she will find out you're trans, right? So ask yourself this: do you want her to find out soon? If the answer is no, then don't tell her about VT. ^_^

Of corse I could just edit my profile to make it harder to tell its me.

Well it is up to you. but then she is going to ask you how do you know about it. are you going to lie about having a profile? if you have a profile, I will not be surprised if she ends up finding out. it is possible she may keep the fact your trans a secret, but those things have a way of coming out even accidentally. your call, but if you do show her and she joins, you might want to prepare for the possibility of your secret coming out

I think you should tell her but when you've been gone a while from the forum. That way she'll assume your not on there when you create a new profile.

You can tell her if you want but if you have secret information on here that you don't want her to find out about then why bother?

I don't don't want her to know, I'm just not sure to tell her or not.

Depends if you think she can handle it, you say she's only just thirteen right? Maybe she won't understand. But then again, maturity levels differ.

Yeah, I don't really know what her understandings are of any of this, I would most likely have to explain it all.

Maybe bring up gender identities with her, not saying anything personal but just testing the waters of her understanding.

There's a pretty good chance she's heard of Caitlyn Jenner but I don't know how much she knows.

Well, bring it up casually and talk about it some. Maybe find another forum that's a little softer and introduce that to her and see how she does with that. Sounds like she might not be mature enough to handle tome of the topics if your not sure what she understands and you might find yourself outing yourself to her when you may not be ready to do so

i wouldn't do it. i'm not a very trusting girl though. i guess it really all depends on how much you trust her and how comfortable you are with her seeing that side of you.

really, now that i think about it, i might be being a little bit of a hypocrite. i did trust my dad enough to tell him i'm bi and to trust he would not tell my mom. i don't think i'd want him seeing my VT posts though. i dunno. i'm not being much help. :what:

Dont deny her the great opportunity of knowing VT. We all agree this is an awesome site and very helpfull in many ways. Im happy to be here.
And about your secret: Isnt your sister the obvious person to trust with your particular situation? Maybe it would make it greater.

Daniella98, sometimes family is the last to know things about you (and sometimes the last people you WANT to know about things)

I know I have told my younger sister stuff, but there is stuff I do not want her knowing about me.

I think that VT is a great place, but it does have its own peculiarities. If you feel that she might not understand or disagree with your posts here, I'd say hold it off until VT can truly be of help (she needs some support) or is mature enough to understand what's going on here. Or she can find about it herself, too.

If you want to, go for it. If you're concerned about sensitive posts though, you can always ask the staff to delete anything you don't want her to see. If you don't want to do that though, you don't have to tell her about VT.

Tell her and don't say your nickname
