So as many of you know, it took many years for me to get in contact with my family again. There are still some family members I do not talk to.

The most important sibling I have is my twin. He and I were very close as children. We did everything together. We were inseparable.

One of the great joys about him being in my life again is the fact that I can have a relationship with his children. At first, my brother was very wary about me taking them places by myself. He had a lot of residual transphobia that he hadn't shaken off. I understood that. I gave him time.

In March, when I celebrated Eid with my family for the first time in sixteen years, my brother asked me if I would take my niece for a drive. She loves my car, and he said, with her standing shyly behind his leg, that she had been asking him all day.

I began to cry. Not obviously, but I cried.

I cried because it showed me we had healed. It showed me that he saw me, invariably, as his sister. He trusted me, and that once again, he loved me.

This is in my top ten favourite pictures.
