Family Rections :-/
I've know that I was a transguy forever, but I've recently come out to my parents and friends.
I'm the oldest of 3 kids, a younger brother (18) and a younger sister (13). My sister is the one that I'm most worried about telling the family (including extended family). She looks up to me and does the same things I do, likes the same things I like etc. I told her last summer that I'm "gay" (although I feel like a straight boy) and she's totally fine with it and loves my girlfriend. I don't want to "let her down", on the other hand I feel like she'll be the most understanding of everyone.
(PS- I have a huge family, 24 aunts and uncles, and over 43 cousins... we're an extremely close family, but most of the aunts and uncles are very closed minded.)
As for my friends, they've all handled it well. I told them when I was in high school that I wanted to get SRS and so they knew it was a possibility. Now that it's something that is going to happen, they've all handled my "2nd coming out" rather well!
Does anyone have any advice for how to come out to my family or how to handle telling my sis? Or does anyone have any stories of how their family/friends
