transHey, I'm new to this community...
I've just been told by my son's father (we split up before my son was born but he plays a pretty big part in my son's life, my son is 2 and a half) that he is considering a sex change. It's not a huge surprise to me as he's always been that way inclined but it is a shock to the system and I wonder how it will affect my son, my son's relationship with him and my own relationship with him. I have a boyfriend who will probably take on the role of "dad" if this does go ahead, (I kind of feel like my territory of being "mum" is being somewhat threatened, will his parenting style and inclinations change? Are they hormone based?) Is it fair whilst not to dock any of his rights as a parent to bestow on him the title of aunty or some such? We are all a pretty liberal lot and pretty accepting (c'est la vie, right?) but I'm really shocked and just need to know.. how will things change? how will this affect us? how will it affect my 2 year old son growing up knowing that his "aunty" is really his dad?
Cheers!
