    I have three younger siblings; brothers 8 and 10, and a 12 year old sister. I'm fairly close with my brothers, and my sister and I fight constantly. I've decided I want to come out to them as FtM transgender so they can adjust to it, but I have no idea how to start. Does anyone here who has come out to their young siblings or children have any advice on doing so in a way that they can easily understand and process?

    That's a good idea. Do you (or anyone else) know of any sites that could be useful?

    Maybe you could simplify some of the info on this thread and give it to them.
