I need your thoughts on this
So yesterday when I had dinner with my older brother, he asked me if I ever had plans to tell the rest of my family about my girlfriend being trans. I told him that I do, especially since she's open about her identity and that the reason for her last breakup was because of her previous partner refusing to be honest with his own family.
He then told me that while he supports the relationship, he doesn't accept her identity. He says, instead of using her preferred pronouns, he is only going to refer to her by name only. Also, whenever he kept bringing her up in our conversation, he kept using the phrases 'person' or 'partner'. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this.
Part of me feels a bit offended on her behalf but another part of me doesn't want to push the issue further because I don't want him to then see her in a negative light. Thoughts and opinions are much needed and if you have any suggestions as to how to broach the subject with him again, please let me know.
