Heyyy so I cracked a little over a year ago, and had some bad reactions from my then SO and much of the rest of my family. Just a few words - go easy on yourself, there's no rush to anything; have grace for yourself, this is all incredibly difficult and you'll find many people in your life that won't understand, especially in the early stages (if you end up finding yourself to be trans, not being trans afterall is ok too lol).
Its really hard to narrow down what advice I feel would be best, its only been a year but I've passed some sizeable milestones now that Im proud of in spite of what I had to battle through, and more to come (always), but its all so incredibly worth it.
Please reach out via DM's or below if you want to talk experience or have any questions, or really just anything. All of this stuff is incredibly difficult and jarring when it first hits, but I hope youre finding meaning and enjoyment in it, the vividness of life in that first few months is something I'll remember forever lol
EDIT - Also, I did the same damn thing with Faceapp, whatever you do, don't use it as a profile pic anywhere, or else the first 5 months of transition you'll be even harder on yourself about appearance. But idk, thats a personal lesson I learned the hard way lol
