MODERATORS
I came out just over 7 years ago, so people have had quite a bit of time to adapt.
My mother started at 2. Now she's 1 in intent, but 1.5 in practice.
My kiddo started at 2, but has since gone through their own journey of queer self discovery, and is now a loud and proud 1.
My ex (the kiddo's other mother) and I were broken up for many years before I came out. We don't get on, but even so, she was instantly supportive of my transition and remains so to this day. She started at a strong 1 and is still a 1.
My grandmother, who was in her late 90s when I came out started at a 2. She has since passed away.
Other than that, I don't have much family in my life. My father passed before I transitioned, and aside from funerals, I don't interact with my cousins or aunts and uncles. If I had to rate them as a group, there somewhere between 3 and 4, but I don't really know, because I basically have no interaction with them.
