very glad that you had the consideration and concern to ask. THANKS!!! I,
personally, would like to be called a name that denotes my gender or, in fact,
leaves it neutral. Being a female, I can not at all relate to the term
"brother" because I don't think that it was ever intended to be used toward
women and because I have never been called that before. Therefore, I dont
have and emotional connection with the term, like some men might. Therefore,
I think the best term that I could come up with and relate to is sister.
Once again, thanks for asking!
