She did this with my permission. His response has been just as good as hers. I'll post it here. This is about 4 0weeks after their wedding at a timeline. The picture shown was my avatar, and the eyebrows picture from Japan.
Here's his response. I cried happy tears from reading it. I'm sure not all people in out to will be this supportive, but I am very happy I have his couple in my corner

"Hola Bari,
Last Saturday [sisters name] talked with me about your decision to be who you really are my dear brother.
As you know that day was one of the most happiest of our live's, because after this long beautiful and amazing journey, which you perfectly know, your sister and I are finally together, starting our new family in Mexico City with the biggest love for each other.
So my big happiness of that day, when Hava arrived to our home, was greatly increased by knowing your decision of coming out and show openly who you are inside, in your heart, in your brain and in your soul.
When I read your letter, in the first part, the first emotion that came to my heart was very sad to know what you have surely had to live all these years, and immediately a feeling of enormous happiness and a great pride for you and for what you're doing.
I have no doubt that to do it requires enormous courage, a big heart, and a huge intelligence; and you have all that and more.
Family is very important to me, and your are part of my family since the first day I married with [sisters name], and even before. Now you are my dear sister since that day, and is the way how I am going to see you now and forward, Bari Jo.
I saw the first picture you sent to [sisters name], and I only could see a lovely, happy and tender woman, with a nice pride in her eyes. You cannot imagine how happy and proud We felt for you.
[sisters name] and I support you now and forever.

Wonderful [emoji5]. Not surprising that given how fantastic your sister has been, that she would want to marry someone equally open minded. X

I agree it should be this way for all of us and from everybody. These two are probably the two I will most interact with. My parents are next and I'm still dreading it.
From others I know I won't get this kind of response. I deal with those when the time comes.

You sure know how to pick your family! I am so happy for you.
Do you think your sister might have gotten her accepting nature from your parents? You may have less to worry about than you fear.

It is so rare to be able to offer a truly wonderful, life changing gift to someone in our lives. Your sister and her husband did that for you. It is a beautiful thing for you and I thank you for sharing it with us.
