Today when my wife came home, she had a concerned look on her face, my 5 year old son was asleep on the couch which was a good thing.  She told me that apparently the school is beginning sex ed.  Apparently my son had a conversation with my mother in law last night, they were playing and she gave him a pop on the bum, he looked at her and said don't do that, that's a private place.  She asked him how many private places he had, my son answered 2, and proceeded to point, she then asked him how many she had, my son answered 3, and began to point.  After this they began to play again, it was then that my son looked up and said, but my daddy has 3.  My mother in law was caught of guard, she is not supportive of my transition but has enough respect to not have a conversation about my privates with my 5 year old. She brushed it off and continued to play.

My question is this, sex ed in kindergarten is very basic, but even at its basics questions can arise. Why does my daddy have 3 private parts when I only have 2.  This could cause issues at school if he were to ask a question like this in school as I live in the south where sex ed is basically, just say no.  What should I say to my son at this point??

You have me just as confused as you are on this question but how about some rules have exceptions for special reasons. Then reassure him that should he ever have a question it's all right to ask about it. That he shouldn't fear talking to you.
