So, today I went for a vaccine and my mom took me as I’m a minor and after she was given a questionairre. There was a slot for my gender and instead of checking male she asked if I’d rather tick non binary. I’m cis so this didn’t matter much but it gives me hope that I might be able to come out some day.

I’ve also started teaching my sister critical thinking to prevent her becoming a religious but. Hope she remembers my lesson on questioning authority

    “Most” is the key word and OP is potentially a child or minor (the sister most probably is).

    It is already dangerous to make blanket statements but to advocate behavior which may alienate a child from their sibling is even more so.

    Religious beliefs span across religions and even influence non-religious spiritual beliefs (including pick-and-choose kinds of beliefs), refusing to accept what people believe instead of speaking with them in a constructive manner can be counterintuitive.

    If you were to ask “why” enough times, eventually you will come across questions that humanity legitimately does not have answers for, exploring those questions is part of what makes us human.
