So today I was at a dinner for my sister's birthday. Eventually the topic came up of the extreme heavily Christian woman I constantly talk about, who is like a mother figure to me, but whose judgement over merfolk I fear most, specifically about her deeming things "too masculine" or "too feminine." My family was very supportive when I talked about fear of her judgement. While I didn't talk about mers specifically, I can now know that most of the people I was concerned about were very accepting, and said they would love me no matter what. So while they don't know specifically about mers, only that I have some stuff I am holding in, I am slightly more confident now, and there is only one challenge left.
My Fam who said this:
My strongest supporter was my aunt, who is a lesbian, and was very passionate and accepting when I told her my fears.
My dad was very supportive as well, and I know he grew up in a strict Southern Conservative Christian family, and broke free after a while, which really helps.
My sister is bisexual, and she told me about mending her relationship with this woman after she discovered my sister was in a relationship with a girl.
(My sis' girlfriend was also really nice and supportive)
My brother has gotten into several debates with this woman before, because he is a Jew, and was empathetic.
And my grandma, who was also incredibly open about the whole thing, especially with my diverse family
