trans--X-posted to mtf
I was recently at my sister’s house for a party she was having, and due to the multitude of changes that have occurred to me, along with her loving, yet prying nature. I’ve finally disclosed to her the fact that I’m dealing with something a little more than plain old depression. She knows that I’m in the process of transitioning and even with her rather devout evangelical Christian beliefs; she seems to be fine with it all.
The problem I/we have is that she has two children, ages 6 and 10, who will eventually need to understand that Uncle “Boy Name” is actually “Aunt Maegan”.
So… Does anyone have any good books, websites, or ideas to suggest in how to explain this all to kids?
