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

First of all, that's awesome!

But while you're encouraging your sister to develop critical thinking skills, do you question whether or not you are indoctrinating her into negative beliefs towards religion?

I know parents love to indoctrinate their children into their religion of choice (one of the many reasons I'm not on good terms with mine) but the opposite can happen, especially between friends/siblings where one person is unintentionally aggressively pushing against religion while the other has some topics they'd like to discuss but doesn't feel comfortable doing so.

Just food for thought, I'm sure you know your sister better than anyone else.

I could be. I don't know whether what I am doing is right. O don't know how to go about teaching her so I'm just being very anti rules in general. This will probably blow up in my face tbh

Maybe. I can only suggest you try to be the best sibling you can be. Keep that as your north star and you shouldn't go too far wrong.
