Irish woman comes out as trans to her sister and her response was just lovely

Whether you are gay, bi or trans, coming out can often be a daunting step.

You're not sure how people will react or if your family and friends will accept you for who you are.

Irish woman and writer Aoife Martin had come out as trans to friends last year and has been out on Twitter for a few months now but still hadn't told her sister.

Yesterday, she bravely took the plunge, texting her sister to tell her. Aoife shared the screengrab of her responses on Twitter - and what her sister had to say is incredibly moving.

It's received a great reaction on Twitter - with the general consensus being that it reduced everyone to blubbering messes.

Congratulations to Aoife - and her sister!
