How supportive is your family of your identity? (piefed.social)

I’m not asking to create drama but rather out of genuine curiosity. I will give big hugs to anyone who says their family is unsupportive. Mine is very much supportive and love me no matter what.

They know not to deadname me when talking to people outside the family. They don't extend this courtesy in private. I perceive this as selective denial. I'm not close enough to them to care any more about this than I do about the way boomers treat me in general. I just think it's weird.
