I’m not asking to create drama but rather out of genuine curiosity. I will give big hugs to anyone who says their family is unsupportive. Mine is very much supportive and love me no matter what.

My family is genuinely great. Once they got past the short mandatory awkward phase everyone was totally jazzed that I was living my best life. My grandparents don’t always nessisarily “get it” but my coming out phonecall basically involved my mostly Deaf grandpa yelling in a stenotorian voice minutes after the news broke “(New Name) is a wonderful name kiddo! It suits you!”. My cousins on that side of the family were momentarily mystified but most of them did their own quick research and were super supportive.
Never let them tell you some folks are just too old. My 92 year old great great uncle already had an enby carer and he had told me before I came out “It saddens me they must struggle so much in this small town since they are such a beautiful soul.”
My Dad’s side of the family we just never bothered to tell. They all live far away and we basically haven’t seen them for over a decade and their bible thumping estranged them from us long before.
In short. I am blessed.
