Apologies if this isn't welcome. If its not welcome, I'll delete. I'm a brother that was "came out" to, and I can tell you how it went:
I had already started to see the changes in how they dressed and carried themselves in the months prior. Most importantly, I could see how much happier they were. They asked to meet for lunch one day, which I happily accepted. Clearly nervous, she told me for the first time that she was trans. I could see the fear on her face waiting for a reply. I immediately told her I fully supported her, her choice didn't negatively affect me in any way, and that I loved her just the same as I had before. The relief washed across her face immediately. Oh, the tacos we were having for lunch were really good too!
I hope your brother is equally receptive.
No, it is very much welcome! I sometimes wonder if any of my family have started to pick up clues. Or maybe they think I am growing my hair, painting my nails, and shaving all the time in a very cis way lol. Thank you for sharing, and I hope my brother is as rad as you are!
