well I survived unscathed
talked to... less people than usual. which is to say less people cared to talk to me
but there were hugs
the eldest‘s prayer talked diversity, mentioned gender diversity, and I felt a smile on my face
all in all, what I expected: some will be glad and supportive, and the others won’t but are polite enough to not say it to your face
that’s how our family has always been. 🙃
