This is my sister Danica, my youngest sibling. I took this photo while
visiting with her in Nicaragua in 1988, where she was working on an
international volunteer youth brigade, harvesting coffee in Matagalpa.
She is one very cool and together person, and the second person I came
out to as transgendered. Danica has been amazingly supportive. When I
called her with my "news" in the fall of 1996, I was surprised (but not
shocked) to find that she already had an inside line, since some of
her friends were transgender. The things you learn about family, eh?
My younger brother Geoff was also high up on my list of people to talk to when I came out. I was worried about how he would take the news. But I should
have known better than to underestimate him. Geoff
was lovably and hilariously laconic about the whole thing. While I was busy trying not
to fall apart, he leaned back in his chair and in a dead-pan, asked, "so
what's the bad news?" Both Geoff and his spouse Jocelyn
have been wonderful.
