So, I've decided that, because telling my sister that I'm transsexual went so well, I'm going to tell my brother as well. He's mostly laid back, so I'm not too too worried, but he is only mostly laid back, so can't be entirely sure.

He gets home in 30 minutes.
I just put on my favorite heels.
I'm holding the first dress I ever bought for myself.

Fingers crossed.

Big hug! Good luck, hon! No matter how it goes, it will be behind you, and that's a good thing! Hugs, Devlyn

Good luck!

Hope everything goes well!

Good luck!

Bona fortuna!

Well, that was anti-climactic...he walks in the door, comes downstairs, takes one look at me, holds out his fist and says "Nice dress, bro".

We fist-bumped.

Shortly after that, once he made his dinner, he explained his non-reaction. Apparently, because he already knew I was kinda weird, he had been gearing up for something really out there as an explanation. In his words, I'm "Wired different. Very, hugely different. It's really obvious if you look for it."

All that worry over nothing, I guess...

That's great, hon! Someone will read this and take the plunge themselves, thanks for sharing the good news. Hugs, Devlyn

Thanks, Devlyn! And thank you to everyone else, too! Not just the ones who commented, but to everyone here at Susan's. If it hadn't been for all of you, I don't think that I would have even tried to come out to anyone.

That's a great brother you have.  I'm glad it went well. 

Congratulations!!!!!

What a brave girl you are for standing up to be counted.

Welcome to the world young lady!

And you have a cool brother; Ahh does he date?

Hugs

Reading your first post totally made me smile.

Reading your second post made me chuckle (in a good way!) and smile even more.
