My brother is 37 now. It's nearly two years since I first noticed something odd. A year and a half since I knew, but still tried to deny. He moved out late last year (yes he lived at home that long) and he's refused to speak to our parents since Christmas. I've talked to him. I can send messages without using a name. We never were close …

He moved out late last year (yes he lived at home that long) and he's refused to speak to our parents since Christmas. I've talked to him. I can send messages without using a name. We never were close though and this feels similar to talking to other strangers in the internet.
I don't think he's going to church, though he was going to ours up until someone pushed back enough to make him uncomfortable. (They were willing to use his new name, but no one actually bought in.)
He still talks to our grandmother though she certainly doesn't agree with him. He doesn't want to cut himself off.
I moved overseas at the beginning of the year and no one here knows. I just tell them that I have four brothers, but only ever talk about three. Maybe someday I'll tell someone but it's awkward to bring up. By the way, my oldest brother thinks he's a woman. I've never really told anyone. They only know if they saw him and plenty of people did. Still I don't know how to talk about it.
