Issues with upcoming event [View all]

So my girlfriends daughter is turning 5 years old this coming Monday, but her parents and her want to have it on Saturday so family and such can come. Which I understand. I decided instead of bouncy type house to do something better. Spinning art machine where they can make any type of colorful art they like. Most kids from what I know are gonna be older than 5. Of course her parents and her were grateful for me to rent this machine for the day.

But this isn't my problem. My girlfriend warned me her brother is going to be there because she wants her niece and nephew there for the event. Problem is that he is a right wing nutter from what she has said. He loves her but doesn't like her "lifestyle" as he calls it. So this puts me in a situation. She told me he tends to say stuff to be a dick and he thrives on it. I told her its wise for him to keep his trap shut because I told her truthfully my mouth will ruin the party because I would go into nuclear meltdown mode.

So this is causing a problem with us. She doesn't want him and I to get into it and ruin her daughters birthday. But I refuse to take any bigots bullying. So I'm having a lot of stress from this when I don't need it right now in my life.

Also doesn't help my social anxiety either. I haven't met a lot of her family yet and that's even more added stress.

I'm a mess going into this weekend and it isn't even Friday yet.

Edit: I'm transgender. I wanted to mention that on why I would probably get upset if he said something. I know he probably knows from his folks about me and his sister.
