Bringing my kids out in public as my true self for the 1st time later today & not gonna lie, feeling nervous about 2 things.

1st - they still call me dad, which I completely left up to them because I already changed enough, I wanted them to feel like they had a say in something

2nd - my fem voice awful atm, though still better than my natural voice.

So the combination of dad & a less than perfect voice has me anxious, and it's more anxiety I have FOR them, not me.

@MarvelousMadi13 That's awesome! I understand your anxiety, but remember that this is the first step to feeling completely comfortable. I understand your anxiety for them too, but just keep in mind that kids usually adapt way better and much quicker than adults. I think it's great that you left it up to them what they wanted to call you. Just be open to them and remind them that they can be open to you about their feelings. 🤗

@heyyou fingers crossed, they've been really great about everything so far, just super protective of them and want to shield them from things.
