Any family members trans in addition to yourself?

[Mohini]

Hello!  I wonder how common it is for a transperson to have other family members who are trans.  I know of one family where at least 3 or 4 members, closely related, are trans.  I and my niece are MTF trans, and I have a cousin from the other side of the family who is married to an MTF as well, and they have a daughter together.  That's THREE of us, though the latter one is related through marriage and not blood.

[Mohini]

I have to add that I was the one who inspired them to come out and transition.  The cousin-in-law came out slowly around 2005, while I was evacuated during Hurricane Rita.  My now-niece came out 4+ years ago.  I wonder who's next...

My cousin though they won't transition due to marriage. They seem OK about living part time

This goes back to the 1950s and 1960s.  It was a time when it was illegal for a man to wear women's attire.

My mother's younger brother was going through transition during the 1960s.  Sure enough!  My father had him arrested when he came cross-country to visit us.

My first cousin is MTF, I am FTM. Both of her parents are bi. My mother is also bi and masculine (although she wouldn't identify that way).

Although we aren't blood related, another first cousin (who is bi) is married to a trans woman and another close friend is trans feminine and transitioning (I'm a godparent to their son).

So, lots of trans and bi people in my life.

This is an interesting thread, it seems bizarre now that I'm the only queer in the family. My cousins have children who are still young so I often wonder how they'll turn out. And my great aunt never married so I've always wondered about her sexuality.

My family has 2 brothers who are men who like men, 1 woman who....likes women but sometimes likes men, and 1 who has never shown one way or another but dresses gender neutral and wears her hair in a gender neutral way.  I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones I am aware of.

My wife's family, which is my family sort of in a round about way twice, has at least 2 women who like women, one of which dresses and acts male, but has not tried to transition, to my knowledge.


Explanation of above:
My wife's mother was married to my grandpas cousin, and had divorced him and remarried.  My wife is a product of the second marriage.  All of her siblings are blood relatives, a couple times removed.

Nope, s'just me.
I have a cousin who's gay, but that's it.

I only know of a 4th cousin that is trans. She benefits from the younger, more open generation. At 19 she is beginning her transition now, already a happy and beautiful girl.

As far as I know, I'm the only one. I don't think my family is very large unless we go to my grandmother's generation since she has loads of cousins while I have none (biological ones at least). Plus, I abhor big family gatherings so what would I know.

Also, I don't know my father's side of the family at all so who knows. *shrug*

My cousin is trans but I don't think he ever started hormones or anything

My mother had thoughts when she was young. But it was out of jealousy, it seems.
My sister had thoughts until she was 15 or something.

A younger family member I've never met is, and also appears to be gay.

Apart from myself, them and their sister I don't think anyone else in the family is trans, bi, gay or fluid.

I'm... Like the only Rainbow Sheep in my family out of everyone that I KNOW of.

[roseyfox]

All of my brother and sister are gay, bi, drag queens but im the only trans one meow 6 brothers 2 sisters.

[Raye]

Whoah I wish I had an Open minded family like that I left home around 16 LOL.

[SophiaBleu]

No trans that I know of, but some lgb.

[Nuuni]

I'm an only child and no LGBTQIA relatives one step out in the family tree that I know of. My FtM husband's brother is a cross dresser.

[Katiepie]

As far as I know, I am the only one in all of my family and relatives. I do know one of my uncle's is gay, but otherwise as far as I know no one else.
In my extended military family I know maybe one could very well be. I have seen quite a few tell tale signs, and he considers himself to be a valley girl. Otherwise that's all I know.
