I had been on the fence about telling my family because theyre very...ex-catholic white centrist capitalist, to put it nicely. I decided I'd give them a chance and told my mother today:

Me: oh yeah, I actually can't go back to work yet because I have surgery next week.
Mom: surgery!?
Me: yes, I'm getting a hysterectomy
Mom: /ew, why?/
Me: because I--
Mom: a hysterectomy?!
Me: yes, because-
Mom: /that's gross, ew why. Hehe, no I'm kidding *hard subject change, never brought up again*/

And I have to say, the response I've been getting from cis women is interesting. They almost always know I'm a trans man, and it seems in the moment that I tell them, they completely forget that, shocked at my betrayal of (white) womanhood. (As if I didnt already do that by injecting T every 5 days for a year, but I digress)
I honestly expected more solidarity from cis women, and more awkwardness from cis men. Admittedly, cis men are always awkward because I exist, but that's a whole other thing. Idk its just interesting. Everyone's pro reproductive rights until you make a permanent decision I guess.
It's very telling.
The one good thing about the social stresses of being trans is that you find out who actually supports you.
