My younger brother (we look like twins) told me last we talked that he and my dad had been talking, and my dad said, well, [Kai's] always been one of the guys anyway. Guess this just makes it official.
My mother has officially stated that she doesn't know if she will ever be comfortable with my trans-ness, but she hasn't disowned me.
I think our families have much more to do with our gender expression than we realize. At 5, I fought with my parents to not have to wear shorts under my dress. By 7, I had a rat-tail, like every other boy in my class.
I think it was the fact that while my mother would push once in while for the girl, for the most part, my parents let me choose how to express myself.
