*nods* Yeah, I thought you might be one of the neither cis nor trans non-binary people.
This seems to be a case where the terminology gets badly confused due to people not agreeing on what the words mean in the first place. I've been trying to get in the habit of saying "non-cis" more frequently, but I admit I'm not always that great at it.
That does make sense about it being at least partly environmental, and I think most of the families I can think of with more than one trans sibling also have relatively supportive parents?
Anyway, I kind of hope I get to meet your blood family someday, because they sound really cool, and much less objectionable than mine often is. Although it seems hard enough to even manage to be in the same place as you these days.
(By the way, I just bought tickets to arrive in Boston on the morning of 24 December. I'll probably be there for about a week, but don't actually know when I'm leaving next, as it depends on about three other constraints I haven't figured out yet.)

And good luck with correcting your dad!
