Well I just told one of my cousins that I was bi and transgender. Then asked if it creped her out because a lot of people in our family frown on that. In reply she said she does not have a problem with that and she has friends with similar lifestyles and that she was bi as well. I was so scared and shaking when I told but happy and grateful when she told me she does not have a problem with it.
