Got a couple relatives visiting from out of town, and I'm loving how accepting they are of my being trans, and they're calling me by my chosen name and pronouns :sparklingtransheart:

visiting family, potential transphobia 

Another pair of relatives will be visiting later today, and all four will be visiting over the weekend.

These other relatives are known to be conservative leaning, so I am worried they might be unaccepting of me, or might treat the reunion as an "intervention". Thankfully I've got the others to back me up if they try anything.

To paraphrase my mother, if they try anything then her sister is going to unleash a (verbal) barrage of fireworks to defend me.

Seems I was worried about nothing. The other relatives I was concerned about used my chosen name and pronouns :sparklingtransheart:
