I'll cut right to it. Looking for suggestions, wisdom, and maybe your experiences. My wife and I are having a hard time keeping my transition from our 8 year old daughter. She is our world. We both feel like it's time she knows more about what's going on with me. Right now she knows who I am, she knows her dad. We do our nails together, she knows I wear some more feminine things(jewelry, some clothes, etc., things like that. But she also knows I'm her born male dad. We live a more colorful lifestyle, but she's never been around more than 1 other trans person (ftm) and has only ever known him as male. It's time to start letting her in more, I'm out with all of my close family, and some friends. I feel horrible hiding it from my little person. My main concern it to ensure her that I'm not going anywhere, that me and mom both love eachother, and we love her. That I'm not changing the life we've made, but opening up a new, fun and exciting, but also a little scary chapter in it. We are also concerned with any ridicule that she might receive from kids in her school. We don't know if they will be judgmental with her or not, but we do live in idaho... anyone that's different here is usually an outsider. We're considering moving to Washington this next year. It's a lot.... I don't think it's fair to keep it from her anymore. She's smart, and caring, but she's also just a kid. Thank you for any insights you might have!
