Could you share more about your trans siblings? I had understood that being transgender was relatively uncommon, and I realize there may be genetic or other factors involved. It's new to me that multiple members of a family might identify this way, and I’d love to learn more if you’re open to sharing. Thanks!
You misunderstood, heh. It's not uncommon for people in the trans community to refer to other members as "siblings" or "brothers and sisters" regardless of actual blood relationship.
That said, my sister is non-binary and I'm pretty sure my mom is heavily closeted based on a number of things she's said to me after I came out.
This isn't about people who are trans, but there is a fascinating thing called the Fraternal Birth Order, where every male child a mother has, their likelihood of being gay goes up significantly.
