Hey! So i need a lil advice if possible. I came out to my parents and my brother (who is 13 years older than me) back in June-ish. My sister is much older than me (23ish years older than me, has a husband and two kiddos) and I've been wanting to come out to her for a bit, her and her kids don't call me my name, they use my deadname cuz they don't know why i go by my name. her and her kids are coming to visit the day after Christmas and i don't think that that's a good time to come out but i would like to tell her soon. I've been out for a while and its really sucky for her and her kids and husband to use my deadname after all the time I've spent getting ready to come out. on a lighter note, i have an elf on the shelf, and i got her a girlfriend this year, their names are Sapphire and Violetta (Sapphie and Violet) for short- (I call them elfbians/lesbielves) But yeah, that's all i have, I hope y'all had/are having a Happy Yule, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas!

This is a tough situation, and one I can relate too, so you're not alone! From my perspective, I would wait just a few more days to come out to your sister, just to let the excitement from the holidays die down a bit, let her de-stress, all that. Catch her in a moment where she totally relaxed, the kids aren't nagging her, perhaps she's had a couple drinks even, and then broach your coming out. Whatever you do, don't try and come out when she's stressed out, busy or on call with the kiddos; she will be less inclined to listen to you properly then. Wait till she's chilled out, then broach it. Hope this helps and good luck!
Merry Christmas/any holiday that you are celebrating at the moment. I wish you all the best!
