K NOTE: while I do think it’s clear that I love my sister dearly here, I want to be extra super clear that when I say “love covers all manner of sins” I am referring to the ways we as her family fail at times to do the best we can. I am not in any way referring to her gender identity as a sin. My sister knows this, but I want to be sure that anyone else who hears me, hears me correctly as well.
