"Of course he seems happier now, he's found a fantasy he's allowing himself to get fully engrossed in, denying all reality. He gets to walk around playing a character of extreme stereotypic femininity. That happiness won't last because reality can't be denied forever. The fantasy will get old, he'll get reminded he's a man, he'll get reminded that he can never be the woman he pretends to be, and that's when the dysphoria hits again."

Exactly and what happens then? We have often seen anger and abusive vitriol directed at women at this stage what if the OP, her sister or her mother happen to be in the firing line? This isn't a good situation AT ALL.

If they don' t want to deal with this shit and are afraid that he goes ballistic on them, the solution is really simple: get him out of their life.

I don' t think all trans people should be cut out of your life, not even the ones who indeed live in genderland if you are willing to put up with them. But if you are worried that someone in your life might attack you for the wrong word you say, you should cut that person out, regardless of anything else. Man, woman, trans, LGB, disabled, it doesn' t matter, if you are scared, you shouldn' t be around them.
