Those are the words I’ve been looking for to describe what I’ve been feeling!

A question to those who have come out to young children:
My niece and nephew are visiting me, they are almost 6 and 4. But I haven’t really come out to them. They both call me my androgynous name that everyone in my family calls me. But now that I’m on hormones, it may be a while before they see me and I’m suddenly very masculine to them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about speaking to them about this? Should I just be forward with them or should I make it as simple as possible.
I to would like to know. Also the parents of my cousins don’t really want them to know. So I feel obligated not to say anything. But kids ask questions. All I’ve been doing is avoiding them but then my changes increase with time & they’ll see a more dramatic change vs small changes if I see them often so I know that isn’t a solution.
Advice?
I don’t want to hide that I have a boyfriend from my grandparents or parents. But I’m afraid they really won’t take my gender identity seriously. I don’t want them thinking I’ve magically become a straight woman now. Because I’m not. But I don’t think they will see me and him as a gay couple, only a straight one.
But then I think.:
They’ve already put me through a lot.
Fuck what they think about my relationship.
I’m happy and they can’t take that away.
My rule still stands though that they can’t meet him until they can address me correctly in front of him. I refuse to be disrespected in front of him.
I’ll tell them. Probably after he meets my sisters..

Here is my progress on my beard stubbles since starting T.
So I’ve almost done it all. I’ve done patches for two months. Natural T boosters (vatamins/diet) for a month or two without being on any T. T gel (angrogel) for about three months. And now I’m on T shots, have been for lil over a month.
The first shot is my chin now. After the months of patches/natural/gel and my first month on the T shots.
The last two shots were after the patches and after the natural boosters, I was about one month on the gel. There are two shots, one before triming the two obnoxiously long hairs and one after the trim.
See the difference?
my sides are also coming in nicely as well as my body hair. Today my aunt who hasn’t seen me since starting the shots said my face looks different but she doesn’t know how to explain how it looks different. Sooo…. :D ya changes!!

I be so happy. :)
this is what happens when we hear the news that our band could possibly most likely be in Models of Pride this year! to do a workshop of our choice! WOOT WOOT!!!!
me & Amber :D
So have you checked out my band The Infinite Internal yet??
well you should :)
https://www.facebook.com/#!/TheInfiniteInternal
a band full of queers!
(be aware that some of the recordings are with me pre-T)
Tell me if I suck. and be fuckin honest about it please
Start a band with the homie. Actually begin to tolerate my voice. (specially since being on T)
I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t as bad as I thought, granted not the best but I wasn’t horrible.
And now since adding our newest member (causing there to be 3 vocalists), her friends and some other people have been saying I shouldn’t be there. That it should just be Amber and Rico, just have two girls sing to each other. Someone even told Amber to just not include me on our music and if I were to ask why to just say “oh it’s just for two girls to sing to eachother”
the fuck??
So PLEASE ALL OF YOU go check it out and listen. then tell me if I actually suck and should quit for the better of the band. I’ll do it if it means they will succeed. because I love what we’ve done and I just want it to be its best. here’s the link:

(I’m Shane by the way if you don’t know me. The transman vocalist in this band.)
*side note*
Pre-T songs = A Memory.
All The Shit I’ve Written (recorded while I was really sick)
All the other songs were after starting Testosterone during the first 3 months

My mother texts me: “Hi {birthname} how r u? Wuts bn goin on?”
we’ve already had the trans* conversation and i told her that if she doesn’t want to refer to me by my name then she can just not use a name instead.
So I replied: “Can you just refer to me as sweetheart or something please? Things are fine. Insanely busy. Strassed trying to find a new job. but for the most part good. You?”
To which she responds with nothing.
really mother? you text me and I reply and you can’t even respond back?
was what I said a dick move? or was i in the right?
keep in mind she ALWAYS over uses “she” and my birthname in sentences
