#I’m still nervous around my extended family bc we haven’t seen each other much since coming out to them

I KNOW the testosterone is doing her job because when I left the family function today, my uncle john (who I haven’t seen since coming out+transitioning) shook my hand and went “nice meeting you today”.

His wife knew who I was and acknowledged it as soon as she saw me earlier. I didn’t correct him. I’m still laughing about it, honestly.

#literally so tickled by it. the way my grandma howled. #when I told her about it before we left #but I DID confuse his name w my uncle ken’s. so. it all evens out I guess. #BUT he also said nice to meet you to my partner?? so he was definitely talking to me abshfjfkgkg #I’m still nervous around my extended family bc we haven’t seen each other much since coming out to them #they’re all doing real good about it though. it’s genuinely very sweet. they’re all so old and do so well #both w me and my partner’s pronouns and stuff. love that shit. very affirming. #ok to reblog if you wanna I guess. I won’t stop you.
