Sandi are you sure that your sister doesn’t suspect what you are going through? She may know but because of her love for you she is respecting your privacy. You never know she may be very accepting and supportive of you. You may want to consider coming out to her. It may take a load off of your emotions.
I found out about 2 years ago that I actually have a half sister living in California. Her and I plan on meeting one day and sometimes talk on messenger. She is very liberal and seems very cool. I feel like I could let my secret out to her and she would be thrilled to know that she has a trans brother.
Happy Belated Birthday Maria! I checked out those LGBTQ earbuds and they all look very cool.

Kelli,
I honestly don't think so. The way I've described it makes it look more obvious than it is. All the help I've listed there fits in with other things she knows. I have had long-term mental health issues, and I've left her believing it is just a flare-up of that. However there's absolutely nothing stopping her coming into my room while I'm out and doing a quick search. When it comes to others she is quite nosy and will dig if she has suspicions, but that has always been around her ex and her son. I think she respects my privacy though, as I'm one of the few that have showed her love and support, and we have been on very good terms for decades.
One of the hardest things about going through all that I have recently is that no-one else here knows. I would dearly love to tell her so that I'd have at least one ally in the house, but I honestly don't know her views on this matter. It has never come up, and how do you raise it without it being obvious? She is an intelligent woman and given everything else she definitely would get suspicious then. Another concern would be that even after I told her, I wouldn't know how she really felt about it. She is quite a undemonstrative private woman, and so it's likely she wouldn't show any strong reaction one way or another.
You won't know this Kelli, but I'm kind of mid-way through coming out to someone. It is all very complicated and frankly messy, but I am happy to share via DM's if you'd like to know. I've already told the other regulars, but that was during your hiatus from this site.
I hope you are able to come out and be accepted by your half-sister, it would make all the difference to you I'm sure, especially given the circumstances you are in.
xox,
Sandi
