Via my friend Diana's blog, I learned that today is Blogging for LGBT Families Day.
I wish all my family acknowledged and supported my transness.
My wife acknowledges it, tolerates it, but is not supportive. And she does not want to talk about it.
My daughter acknowledges it and is supportive. (Goddess, bless her.)
With the rest of my family: some know about it, some have no clue.
The ones that know have never acknowledged it to my face. It is the proverbial elephant in the room no one talks about. They talk about it behind my back, but they never saw me crossdressed, so they don't have to deal with it face-to-face.
Being a crossdresser, my transness is not out their 24/7; I do not crossdress full-time, so my family does not have to confront my transness, so they avoid it.
That is understandable. Most people don't want to confront something when they can avoid it, so they don't confront it unless they have no choice.
Maybe I should give them no choice. Maybe I will wear my most feminine outfit on Father's Day and visit all my relatives.
Be sure they take their meds first ;)
