Where are you in your family?

I am the eldest and still the oldest

[Lucy]

Sorry but im the middle of 3 boys born in my family.

Guess I dont fit the bill.

[Tak]

I grew up in an overprotective environment. In other words, I'm the youngest. ;]

[RebeccaUK]

Youngest. One brother older by twelve years.

Well right now with 25 people voting, we are running about 50/50.  And although for research purposes, that's much to small a group to be statistically accurate, it does seem to shoot down the theory that I read.  I'll leave the poll open a while just so we can see what happens.

Exactly my situation.  One older and one younger brother.

Yeah, I get it.  People are using "oldest" in the wrong context where "eldest" would be the appropriate word.

[Bracha]

Firstborn.  First of four.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that TG people tend to be the oldest child in their family and with many of my friends, this seems to be true.  I'm just wondering how that theory holds up here at Susan's.
Obviously if you are an only child, check oldest.

And yes, I'm the oldest in my family.

firstborn son with 2 sisters

[Laurry]

I was the first child born to my parents, and unless something has changed lately, my little sister is still not as old as I am.

My Mom had 4 miscarriages before I managed to make it, so I could have been a middle child.

How interesting. I hadn't known about this. Sure enough, I'm the oldest of 5.

For me, being the oldest was always tied to being different, a misfit, the weird one, the black sheep--I've always lived an offbeat existence, knowing that something undefined was really different about me... In fact, now that I've realized just what is the source of my difference from others, I might have hope of living as a normal woman for a change, instead of an abnormal man. The allure of becoming absorbed into conventional womanhood is very strong. I'm tired of always being the freak.

I'm the youngest of 6. But it's an interesting situation. Me and my closest brother (in age) have the same mom and dad, my two older sisters have the same mom but a different dad, and my other two older brothers have the same dad and different mom. Hmmmm....does that skew the statistics

I'm the oldest, but I'm only older than my sister by about 5 minutes, so it doesn't really count. Her being born a girl was always a cause of jealousy for me though as I got older. Just wish I wasn't so mean to her in the past because of it.

I'm the oldest.

(And it must be my computer because all I see are two options for "youngest" and one for "middle". )
