Lack of comprehension or what?
PFLAG is a good resource for learning if that's the issue. [pflag.org]

If it's people being phobic - well that takes time and education.

@TCorCM Make sure you get support. That will help.
They can also get support there too - they have support groups just for family members/friends. Make the call for you though - and maybe pass along the number to a family member that seems interested.
We got thru this with my niece (I'm an ally though so I was I all "Yeah so we have a niece now!".). And we worked on our pronouns. And tried not to do dead-naming.
Some were more ahead of the curve than others. But thankfully everyone was on board.
I know not all families are like that.
My SO Is trans and has pretty much left her biological family behind. So there are a lot of ways this happens.
If you feel your family is worth keeping? I think PFLAG could help.
Education reduces fear. That's it in a nutshell.

@TCorCM I'm betting right now? Yes.
They were doing in person meet ups usually in your nearest city center - but I bet with the pandemic they're doing Zoom style meets.

My niece and her wife both went and found them helpful when she first transitioned - and I've phoned their helpline more than once when I needed information for my Fiancee. They've been good people.

Find the link for your State and check it out from there. Each State probably is a little different. But they are everywhere in the US.

Sorry I can't be of help, my family ostracized me.
