Is it love or allowance?

I am a deeply conservative Christian and married into a family that is mostly more progressive. My sister-in-law was recently divorced and is now dating a trans-person. She and I have had extensive conversations about why I am so against this relationship but have stayed close because I have always done it with love. My husband and I have reassured her that if we are to cross paths with this person we will be kind and respectful. I truly believe Jesus would scoff at us being unkind to a person plagued by sin. We are still human beings who sin daily and are constantly striving to be better.
I really feel like we have handled it correctly but now I am coming to a crossroads.
She is bringing this person to meet her family on Saturday and my children and I are expected to be there.
Do we go or stay out of it?
If we go are we reaffirming a sin or showing approval of it? If we don’t go are we showing the hate that Jesus constantly warns us against?

trying to have a relationship

i’m 26 and found out recently that my dad is not my dad. we had never had a relationship so loosing whatever connection we had felt like no big deal but i have been really lost about connecting with my bio-dad.
when we met, i immediately could have told you he was my dad. for as long as i can remember, i had questions about why i didn’t look like my dad and this cleared them up haha.
now, we have set another day to meet up and for mw to meet my siblings. we talk weekly but i feel like we are not getting anywhere relationship wise.
i really want to know my dad. am i reading too much into this and expecting too much?
i have literally never been more lost.
