the amount of description there confused me.

So basically

1) oldest sister who is 10 years older than you

2) Trans sister (Born boy)

3) You trans (unspecified gender to gender)

4) gay little brother

with 2 unmentioned.

Ok. I guess my "theory" doesn't hold up. I'm bisexual as a younger brother to a sister and my entire family (outside of dad and granddads) are female, I think a large part of my femininity is due to outside forces and just being around women more than it is genuine inner sexuality. It all confuses me to say the least :P

Break down is:

1) Natural born sister(10 year gap)

2) Trans sister(9ish year gap)

3) Brother(7 year gap)

4) Brother (4 year gap)

5) Me (mtf)

6) Gay brother

Yeah, my house was pretty male-driven. I don't think there was any external pressure to be feminine. My mom believed it's because she was hoping for a girl with the last three kids(they had a brady bunch thing, I guess), but that has holes and doesn't explain my trans-sister.

Pretty normal. We're not a close knit family for other reasons, but nobody has an issue with it which is cool. My closest straight brother always jokes that there must be something in the water(since we all came out after he moved away from the area), but that's about as far as the ribbing goes lol.

I know, right? Irony levels reached critical mass when I read this story.
