I'm on my way to my brother's house to have Christmas dinner with him, my sister-in-law, and my parents. I'm barely out to them, but I'm going to go ahead and show up in my binder and guy clothes. I realize they'll probably think I'm crazy, but I'm done with trying to act like someone other than myself around my family. I'm too old for that. Wish me luck.

Dope. Good luck; I hope it goes well. And good choice, be you and don't seek anyone's approval.

Anyone who would object at Christmas dinner has missed the whole point of the day. Hope it goes really well.

Thanks everyone! It went well in that no one acted like they noticed. I think people might be treating me in a more gender-neutral way as my appearance becomes more masculine, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it's a step in the right direction.
