so today, i finally decided in honor of national coming out day that i would tell me fantabulous little sister that im bisexual. im well aware that she is a large supporter of gay rights and a generally accepting person. unfortunately, i found out, she doesnt actually know what bisexual means. heres how i found out: we like to play little trivia games with eachother, it became a habit while studying for history tests, and today thats what we were doing. first she asks me whats the capital of russia? and im like moscow. and then i ask what are the 4 founders of hogwarts? she answers. we go on for a while and then when shes least expecting it i said, "what does bisexual mean?" this was the first time she paused. then she answered: umm like a he/she? :eusa_doh: i still want to tell her but im convinced that now it will be even harder to come out to her. you know what else i know? that this is just a :***: excuse because im being a coward.
Well, educate her. That's what I do whenever I tell people I'm androgyne. Just give them the gist of what it is. Sooner or later, you'll go "Fuck it, I'll just say it"
It doesn't make you a coward - you just learned about another step you need to take before coming out to your sister. And don't worry about NCOD too much - it's great if you're ready to do it, but if you're not (or the situation isn't ready yet), then another day will do just as well.
You could get some info for her about bisexual and let her read it and digest it before you come out ot her.
