How supportive is your family of your transition? (Rate 1-6) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

My family tends to be sprinkled throughout the different levels. My wife, grandmother and son, easily number 1 in support of my transition and identity.

Many of my cousins I grew up with are level 2.

Father and stepmother are level 5 - possibly level 6 when I was a child - still figuring that one out as new traumas surface.

Everyone else hovers around 3 - 5.

Just remember, I'll always be a level 1 for you ❤️

Level 1: completely supportive

Level 2: mostly supportive but lacking some knowledge, or some transmedicalist attitudes due to ignorance, not malignancy

Level 3: neutral, not supportive but not opposing either, or "supportive" transmedicalist

Level 4: leaning oppose, but no forceful interventions, or refuse to gende you correctly but used neutral pronouns

Level 5: misgendering, not accepting you as their daughter or son, but still pretend to be "loving" misgendered you

Level 6: disowning or physically beating or etc, most extreme measures

My parents have been really accepting of me being bi, and are accepting of trans people in general but on the subject my dad said something along the lines of "don't expect me to call you they", but honestly I think he'd be accepting if I told him. I'm very lucky to have the parents I do, I know their love for me is more important to them than anything else about me. My sister I've told and she's amazingly supportive. Probably never going to tell extended family, if I see them in person they can draw their own conclusions
