Right, I'm new in doing this( so deep breath) and here goes. I have a reasonably supportive partner with regards to me being transgender. I know that it isn't total acceptance but some support is better than nothing. In my life 3 people know that I am a transgender person. My partner, my Mom and my brother. I have a 9 year old son and I want to tell him some time about me but am not sure when and if this is a good idea. Some people find it easy to open up to a therapist but I battle with it. Last time I went to one I wasn't able to connect with them and it just felt like they were bigots. So, to the transgender parents out there, how did you deal with telling your kids? What would you improve if you were able to re-do the situation? What would you suggest that I DON'T do?
