[quote=Anonymous]OP, my sister sent out an email ahead of the holidays so everyone had some time to process and adjust without the child being stuck dealing with them. If you have family members you expect might prove difficult, I would follow up with a phone call to let the adults vent their feelings on you before they interact with your child again. My family is generally supportive although some of them slip up on pronouns occasionally and some of them didn't really understand at first. We deal with it by not making a big deal out of deadnaming/use of old pronouns; just those of us who find it easy using the preferred pronouns consistently. Best of luck to you and your kid! I hope the holiday season goes well for you guys.[/quote]
