Who are you closest to in your family? How did it get like that?
I would have to say my mom. And it just happened. My dad wasn't around when i was little because of work. And when he was, he has the thought that the kids should be raised by a women. But, I am willing to tell my dad stuff more then I would my mom.

I would say my mum to be honest, me and my dad have always had differences. And when I came out he was a little unsure, he's got better about it but im stil wary around him. I will tell my mum anything and everything, she just understands more...

I would have to say, my great aunt. I grew up with her basically. We're not as close now as we were but I still adore her.
She's going on 93 years old and still is up on her legs walking on her own, no help.. and no help at home either. Lives on the 3rd floor, no elevator/lift either.
She's amazing, God bless her heart.

Definitely my brother. In a family of females I was the only one really masculine enough to share his interests (the classic robots, explosions, setting things on fire, etc.) and listen to what he had to say. And he's definitely been the family member who's been the most okay with my transgenderism (though he does admit that if I were to transition and become legally male, he'd be a little uncomfortable, but that's understandable) and even helps me get whatever I'm using to bind tight enough that I'm passable.
My aunt already works with transgender/transsexual folks in Philly and she understands the transgenderism enough that she uses neutral pronouns in reference to myself and my significant other, and when she first heard the pronoun "xe" from me, she started using it in the transgender support group she's in charge of. (It's called "Trans Altered Book Project," you can feel free to Google it.)
My mom is also a bit unnerved by the thought of me transitioning (which really is only an idea that I'm still debating entertaining fully) but she supports me...sorta. She doesn't let me bind a lot for health reasons, which, while well-intentioned, is still pretty annoying.
