@WrenArcher Oh, do I feel this. I have something similar with my own family, and with all the complexities around it.

Wren Archer:bc::trans_heart:🏹 (wrenarcher@beige.party)'s status on Monday, 25-Dec-2023 03:06:30 JST Wren Archer:bc::trans_heart:🏹 *sigh* so it’s Christmas Eve and in about six hours, my baby sister, her daughter and daughter’s fiancé will arrive to have an early dinner with us.
Of my four siblings, she is definitely the one I would prefer to have over but that isn’t necessarily saying much considering how I feel about the other three. And while I love my baby sis, I can only handle her corporate jargon speak and evangelic Christian view of the world in small doses.
*In my best Roy Kent voice*
Faahhhhhck.My wife thinks I should come out to my sis. She’s leaning kinda hard on me to do so but… *sigh*
Fifty plus years of being her big brother… her oldest brother. Arguably the one who has been the most stable of her siblings. I don’t want to take that away from her.
Plus yesterday I went to her house to help her with some electrical stuff and other things here and there and she said some things that make me feel it isn’t worth it to come out to her. I’m surprised at her Boomer™ way of thinking despite being nearly nine years younger than my older GenX ass.
Since I started three and a half years ago, I’ve maintained a pretty hard “need to know” policy regarding my transition when it comes to friends and family who knew me before. And right now, I don't think she needs to know.
