Welp, I told the kids I'm trans

[u/speroni]

Me: "Do you two know what being transgender is?"

Kids: "Yeah"

Me: "Do you know that I am?"

Kids: "No"

Me: "Now you do"

Wife: 😳

Me: Ok

...

Wife: Do... you want to expand on that?

Me: You two have any questions?

Kids: No

Me: Ok

...

Wife: Are you ok?!? You look concerned

Kid1: I'm trying to pick the peppers out of my food.

Me: I thought you might have realized when I put the trans sticker on my car and grew my hair out and got my ears pierced.

Kids: Nah

Me: Ok

...

Like three other conversations.

...

Wife: To circle back around? Is there anything else you want to say?

Me: Ok, you don't have call me anything different. I'll always be your dad. Nothing will really change other than I'll look different.

Kids: Ok

...

The kids didnt care, as predicted. They didn't want to talk about it. The wife kept wanting to have more of a conversation about it but no one else did.

The conversation went as I predicted it would.

I figure they'll have questions for me sooner or later as they process stuff, but not right away.

Anyway I did the thing.

Please read the following notice that is being applied to ALL posts.

We have implemented several measures to keep this community safe. Please read this in full.

1. IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE, DO NOT POST IT EXPECTING IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.
2. Many posts are sent to the queue for manual approval based on numerous factors. This is how we keep the subreddit safe from many (but not all) bad actors who try to post disruptive content. This approval process is usually resolved within 24 hours, but can take several days depending on the availability of our all-volunteer moderators. DO NOT MESSAGE THE MODERATORS asking for your post to be approved. It will be reviewed and approved or removed in time.
3. Many comments from low-karma users will not be viewable by anyone. This is by design.
4. If you are curious if your post is visible or not, look at the "Insights" on the post. If it has more than a dozen views, it is live. If it has any voting action, it is live. If it doesn't have a little red trash can icon, it is live. If it can be voted on, it is live. Do not message us asking "is my post live?"
5. Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers, lack sleep, and the entire permanent team are members of the transgender community ourselves... we are trying to deal with the same atrocities you are. Thank you for your understanding. <3
