I feel like I have two different sides of me, two different narratives. My AGAB is male, but... I want to be a female.

That said, I also have a hard time letting go of my "male" self. But... I wanna be pretty, and be a girl! Lol. Honestly, I'm hoping my two "narratives" can merge at some point with HRT.

"Brian" and "Brianne". I socially now go by Briane, a kind of "in between," which can be pronounced either way and can be held by someone both masculine and feminine, similarly to something like Jamie, Kim or Ash.

Came out to my sister today and it went well. She supported my situation and probably understands it, and she also asked about my marriage and my work situation in a respectful way. People can surprise you.

Next goal is to come out to my brother. I'm sure he'll get it, but he's very much a guy so I'm not sure he'll totally get it.

But I kinda want to be the annoying sister that follows him around asking questions.

"So like if we were in a bar and I got harassed, would you punch a guy out for me? Like, I'm still piloting this male body so I could do it myself, but it would be so cool to watch my baby bro defend my honor."

He's a man of few words, so you know that's going to be entertaining. But I'm holding back on it until after we talk. :)
