I am not a parent or grandparent, but just from the "kids" standpoint, being that I'm 24....I actually really like seeing that so many of your are okay with still being "dad", regardless of gender identity.

I always thought it would be funny to go to my daughter's school, and introduce myself as "hi, I'm Coco's dad..." lol

Unfortunately she and her mom live in a different state now. [emoji53]

I went to a nondenominational Christian church while visiting my son a few months ago.  He introduced me to others as his Dad.  "This is my Dad, Michelle".    Yes, I told him I was OK with that.  I am his father, after all. (she said, one hand on hip, and tongue in cheek). 

They took it surprisingly well for the most part.

We called my dad's father "Boppa."   He wasn't trans, but that's another androgynous grandparent name for you.

I've had funny moments like when my ex wife called and said the school wanted to know who the woman was picking up our daughter. Lol. She wasn't happy about that

Another funny time was my landlord called... I live in NY and she's in Ohio. But she has web cams in the hall way.
She's very strict with the tenants not giving people our keys.

Her: Was anyone there with you today?

Me: Yes my son came by.

Her: I saw him. Did you give your key to him?

Me: no

Her: Who was that woman with him coming in the front door?

Me: Oh, that was me. We walked to the store...

Her: No! It was a woman

Me:... (pause) no, that was me. That's how I look... (thinking) *I have long hair* lol

Her... (long pause) Oh.... (pause) I didn't know it was that long!

Keep in mind I'm not presenting as a woman. Just very androgynous.

My daughter calls me Mom.  I view it as a title that I earned.  When I told her I don't mind her calling me Mom, she said she honestly never thought about it.

OTOH, my grandkids are switching from Granny to Grampy.  Since two of them are "almost 3" and 6, they're still young enough to change over relatively easily, although the 6 year old is still somewhat confused as to "why Granny doesn't want to be a girl anymore."  (I'll explain it to her better when she's older.)  My step-grandson is going on 12 and is old enough to  "get it" for the most part.

I'll probably still let my parents refer to me as their daughter, though now that my voice is masculine and once my facial hair thickens, it'll look a bit weird.  I don't like it, but after 55 years, I doubt I can get them to change, although I'll try.

The only being on this planet I don't mind referring to me as female is my daughter.
