First off, I am still relatively new here, and I hope I don’t offend anyone with any of these questions, but some things I’ve been wondering lately. And that I’m probably going to have to work through before too long.

Same sex/gender parents, do your children call both of you the same or different names?(mom/dad etc.)

Trans* parents, if you had children before you came out, did what they call you change? I’ve only been aware of one instance of this situation and the kids still called her dad.

    I don’t have children, but I do have a nephew, who was 8 when I transitioned. He switched from calling me “aunt deadname” to “uncle newname” straight away, and had no difficulties with doing so.

      That’s awesome! Sometimes honestly kids can be very surprising. Some stuff they naturally accept or interpret or the way they word their understanding of the world can be so refreshing and different.
