Where do I begin?

I’ll keep it short and simple, I come from a tradition Hispanic family who frown at homosexuality. That being said I have always been curious and attracted to trans women. Unfortunately I have never been able to express myself and have only been intimate with women. I recently divorced my wife of 10 years I’m 35 years old and at the point in my life where I want to explore and experience life in my own way. At the same time I am unsure how my first experience will be. I am nervous because what if I don’t enjoy it and it has just been a fantasy. Do you have any advice on how I should approach my first experience ? Also if I do end up realizing that I finally found out who I truly am. Do any advice how to tell my friends and family?
