I came out to my brother and his response was wonderful. Confused, but he was okay. He was even a little mad that our parents were so unaccepting when I first came out to them. It was a great talk. He asked permission if he could tell his wife. I was fine with that, and she sent me text a little while ago just say "hugs." [emoji4]
He also asked me if I had a female name. I told him the story of going from Dawn to Catlin to Catherine. He then reminded me our new step-sister (dad remarried recently) is named Katherine. Mother pussbucket! Back to the drawing board. [emoji13]
