Transgender In The Family?

[Guest Elizabeth K]

I have a first cousin who is FTM and I am MTF. Anyone else have a family connection with other gender dysphoric other than yourself? Or a family friend?

[Guest leo]

nope, i have a massive family and non are trans, not even gay!

[Guest Madison_Always]

No, I really wish I did though. Having a close friend who understands me would be wonderful. It would make this struggle in life so much easier.

[Guest Neuro]

Everyone on here for the most part 8D

...:c

I have an aunt who is lesbian, but other than that we're a very white-bread family when it comes to anything outside 'the norm.' My family doesn't associate with 'that kind' of people.... :c *sniffs*

I don't know of anyone being trans in my family.... But there are 2 people in my extended family that are gay.

i have a close FTM familly friend! he is almost completely in the closet. except we have come out to each other therefore i drown him in convos about the whole deal! he doesn't seem to mind!! i told him to start a profile but idk if he did... does anyone know of a new member whose profile involves the name raven? or maybe dante?

As usual, Lizzy, I find myself all alone on that count - I have a neice who has tattoos all over and she is considered to be the wierd one in my straight laced family.

That's what is making acceptance so hard for me - she might just be the only one who would eben try to understand and she lives in California.

Love ya,

All my family is boring...I don't know anyone gay or trans. I guess I'll take both the titles for my family.

Don't have any. It sounds odd to have transgender relatives. This isn't supposed to be that common!

Actually they are beginning to think that it is a great deal more common that originally thought - taking in all of the different degrees of transgendered and the fact that more people are willing to talk about it.

There are no exact numbers, its still just an educated guess.

Love ya,

Sally

No. To the best of my knowledge, I am the first transgendered member of my family tree.

[Guest meridian]

I am not transgender, but my daughter is MTF, and a son of one of my first cousins is FTM. I joke about it, but I don't really know if the two are connected.

Kia Ora,

My sister, sister inlaw, aunt and cousin in the UK, all have friends [or at least one friend] who are transgender...I have quite a few gay friends both male and female-and the same cousin mentioned above, is also 'gay' as was one of our uncle's...Our family policy was "Don't ask - Don't tell!" My uncle's sexuality was never openly discussed within the family- he and his 'man' friend was fully accepted by the family, 'they' would always be invited to family get togethers/parties...

My cousin has since told me in confidence, that he's somewhat confused when it comes to his gender identity UMMM possibly transgender...Who knows...He's in his mid forties...

Then it must be rather rare. I just wondered because it seems to surround me:

My room mate in college is three years post op MTF - we never suspected each other was trans.

My first cousin is FTM - non-transitioning but lives male - truck and heavy equipment repairperson National Park Service

My friend Jim just told me his former son is a 5 year transwoman, FFS but not SRS - works as a school teacher - transitioned on the job

I went to High School with "Charles" who is now "Charlotte" - transitioned 1972 - she was so obvious that if she hadn't transitioned everyone would have been shocked

A male friend in college is now a very prominate woman attorney - transitioned about 1974

My fourth year design professor in college transitioned over the summer, I signed up in Mr. C.....'s class and was taught by Ms. C..... - beautifully passing

And the GLB in the family are fairly common. Two cousins, a son of a cousin and a daughter of my former wife's sister. Also a brother of my wife's son's wife... whewwww kinda hard to follow that last one... and an uncle of my son-in-law. And probably others I never knew (or know) about.

And we bought our patio furniture from a transwoman (we never outed her).

So there you are.
