I survived Christmas dinner party with SO's family!

This weekend I went to a Christmas dinner with my SO. Big family get together, aunts and uncles, cousins, their kids. A whole lot of new people to meet. Being very visibly trans, I was a little worried, despite the rest of the family that I've met being so accepting of me.

But I survived! Everyone treated me respectfully, used the pronouns - there were a couple slip-ups, but they corrected themselves quickly and it was obvious that it wasn't intended as a slight. They seemed more concerned that I wouldn't be able to handle the size and chaos of such a big get together.

It felt so good to have everyone just accept me as me.
