She Uninvited Her Transgender Sister From Her Wedding So Her Parents Would Keep Paying For Her Special Day
A woman who is about to get married has a transgender sister who announced that she was transgender to their family about a year ago.
Her sister began taking hormones before she came out, and she hid the fact that she was transgender from all of them for some time.
Their parents are transphobic, so she completely understands why her sister didn’t immediately come out to everyone.
After her sister did come out though, it caused an enormous argument in their family and their mom and dad cut her sister off entirely.
Many of their other family members also no longer speak to her sister anymore.
“I like to think I’ve been pretty supportive of her so far, using her pronouns and her name and all that (which has been hard, considering our fam gives me s*** for doing so),” she explained.
“I even make it a point to visit her every so often, while she hasn’t seen most of our other family since last year.”
“I also promised her that, if and when I got married in the future, she’d still be invited despite any tension with our family.”
Well, she did get engaged pretty recently, and her dad loves her fiancé because her dad views him as a replacement for the son he used to have and the man that her sister used to be.

After her fiancé grew close with her dad, her fiancé said to her that he does not like her sister at all, which she believes is because her dad influenced him.
“After the proposal (which was very elaborate and surprising and orchestrated by my parents), my parents, who are wedding planners, started talking with me about planning the big day and even offered to pay for everything,” she said.
“I mentioned wanting to invite my sister, and they shut the idea down immediately, talking about how she disrespected the family and cut them off and all that.”
“They basically gave me an ultimatum: have my wedding planned and paid for by them or have my sister there and they don’t come at all.”

She accepted the offer her parents gave her since she can’t pay for a wedding on her own, and on top of that, her fiancé insisted that was the right thing for them to do.
She did tell her sister that she’s now uninvited to the wedding, but she is trying to plan a Zoom afterparty that her sister will be able to join.
She feels somewhat guilty, but she thinks there was no way for her to say no to her parents.
