Well you get to spoil your niece now xD
Question though. How did your sister take you being trans?

For the longest time she just didn't get it at all. After I started hormones and stuff she started to understand a little but still called me by my birth name and she, and refers to me as aunt to her kid... which doesn't matter now anyway because her kid is so young. 

When we went out drinking together with our little sister this past summer she noticed other people calling me he and seeing me as a guy so that was the first time where she tried to watch what she said and call me her brother. I guess when you know someone for so long even after they transition people can still see you as what you were before and it just takes other people to see you for who you are for them to get it.

So she's never been against it or mad at me about it, she just still thinks I'm an extention of gay or something.

I'm sorry to hear that

I don't know what I would do without my twin.

My twins say this about each other all the time, even when they fight. I don't understand it but it is what it is.

But a couple of months ago we had a birthday party and she brought people that she works with. She had told them that I was her lesbian sister :/ so that made it kind of awkward for me since I have facial hair and a deep voice ... and the fact that they are Christian and have told her that I am going to hell. I was kind of mad at her for that hahah especially on my birthday getting called she and stuff like that.

Ahh I see. The reason I'm asking is because I want to tell my brother. I want him to be the first person in my family that I tell. I feel like he'll be pretty understanding about it because he is gay and we are in the same community. I'm not sure though. I've got my fingers crossed.
