venting anxieties about sibiling's potential dysphoria
To set some background, my sibiling came out as non-binary a couple of years ago. They were 8 at the time. To this day, that is still how they feel. However, things have been changing for them recently, and while I've had thougts before, I've become increasingly concerned since I started my own transition. I think that they're feeling dysphoria, and I'm going to try having a serious conversation with them about how they feel towards growing up on T. They've already told me they're afraid of, and don't like looking in mirrors, and they still mostly look like a kid. They have started growing more body hair, and a small amount of facial hair, and I think that may be getting to them. They've told me they don't want that. I'm sorry I'm rambling, but I'm worried they're going to go through a puberty they don't want to go through, and they're not going to realize they can so something about it until they're older (like me).I've brought up puberty blockers with my parents, but despite how good they are with most things, they seem to be against doing that. I intend to bring up HRT with my sibiling, but considering they might not know what they want for themselves, I don't want to seem pushy, nor do I want to get them on something they won't like.
Sorry, but I really had to vent. I don't even know how this relates to any of you, or myself, at all, but I needed to voice my concerns to somebody without getting into an argument about someone else's body.

Hopefully your sib can get access to the treatments they need now soon, whether that be blockers or HRT (whether that be a standard binary option or if it includes things like SERMS). Guessing SERMs are a lot harder to get access to via DIY though.Sucks cis people privilege cis-puberty over alternatives just because its what our bodies force onto us. Hopefully they wouldn't try to force their child to keep their appendix if they were suffering from appendicitis or keep their wisdom teeth while they're damaging the rest of the teeth just because its natural >.>
I wish I had a sister like you growing up having someone to tell me what options there were and to help me get on puberty blockers or hormones would have been life-changing. It’s not pushy to let your sibling know about puberty blockers or help them make figure out what they want and you should definitely have a talk with them
Oh great, abusive parents. Yeah do whatever you can to prevent your sibling from being traumatized.
