With all the coming out I did yesterday, I sent an email to my younger brother, introducing Kathy to him. I didn't really want to do it, because I didn't anticipate a good reaction. He is passive-aggressively homophobic. The trans topic has never come up in conversation, but I can't imagine he would feel differently about us.
But I felt I needed to do it. It's been 24 hours now and no reply. It's kind of what I expected. I may never get a reply. Ever.
On the other hand, he was always slow about replying to emails. Maybe he's happy for me and just being his normal tardy self. Somehow, I don't think that's it.
It makes me sad. It would be my first rejection. 
First, congratulations on your coming out
Second, maybe he hasn't checked his email yet? It could be that he was busy or maybe he doesn't check that often. If you want to make sure just send him a text saying you sent him an email and you'd like him to read it and then come back to you.
If he rejected you, he's the one who's losing. You're still the same person but happier, and if he doesn't understand that then it's not your problem. It might also take him some time for him to get used to it. My brother used to be a bit disgusted by LGBT topics so I didn't want to tell him, not knowing what his reaction would be. Turns out he couldn't care less, now that he knows what trans people are like (aka normal people, not necessarily prostitutes or porn actresses) he accepts it without any problem. So, if he rejects you, try to give him some time he might slowly begin to understand and accept you
