I can't remember from where, but I recognise the fact that our sibling and first cousin relationships are very likely to be amongst the longest close friendships we will have in our lives, so a subconscious mental equation-type calculation might be done by brothers and sisters as to where their bread might best be buttered. Our son, brother of trans IDing natal XX female born sibling, has done mental somersaults over this in the last two years on how to position himself. At the moment he has plumped for SuperStraight ID which has its own baggage but happy with it. It has been a big fat nightmare for him and us (mum and dad) especially earlier on in our 'journey' for want of a better term. He has reached a comfortable cynical landing spot at the moment but the next decade will be telling for both him and his Schwester as they both go through their teething twenties of life. Lynn you know who I am, I have been having my tech problems with you at a meeting tonight xxxx
