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.
