Title: Came out to my oldest son
Post by: BlueJaye on December 25, 2018, 10:26:19 PM
Our oldest child is 9 years old. I had recently promised my wife that I would start opening up to others about being transgender so I can get over my fears and move on with transition. So, I decided tonight to talk to my son about it. He super understanding and made it so much easier than I expected.

Both my sons ( 10 & 8 ) know I'm trans but I agonize over setting the right example for them to succeed as men in life.

  Kind regards, Kirsten.

Children are usually better at understanding and accepting than adults. I'm happy for you that you've started opening up.
