Fashion Fiasco: Who’s the Real Culprit? ️♂️
So, we have a supportive sibling who’s taken in their younger brother after he came out as trans. They’ve spent a considerable amount on new clothes for him, but the brother keeps borrowing expensive clothes and treating them poorly. The older sibling finally puts their foot down, leading to a heated argument and a locked bedroom door. The question remains: is the older sibling in the wrong for valuing their clothes, or is the younger brother taking advantage of their kindness? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
