When you "Came Out" who was more accepting?

After posting my last story about a trans boy coming out to his parents, I wondered which sex is most accepting.

Did you find mother's, sisters, grandmothers or aunts. Or were the males more accepting.

In my story the character was devastated that his mother rejected him, where his father accepted his longing to be a woman.

This was meant to be a twist. I just (wrongly?) assumed that women would be more likely to sympathise.

Was I wrong?
