Its not the term she has a problem with, she can call me uncle Sean for the rest of my life and it genuinely wouldn't bother me. She's upset that I look more like a woman since coming off T.
Trans & detrans, how did the kids in your life react to the change? My nephews remember me pre-transition but my niece only knew uncle Sean and she's devastated he's "gone." I've said I'm the same person, she doesn't have to call me aunt etc. but she just wants her uncle back.

That's awful, I'm sorry that happened.

I had not thought about familial rejection if detransitioned. It’s like peeling an onion. Each time I think I have thought about all the ramifications I find I really have not.

If you transition while family members are very young, they have no idea you're trans. My niece was told she had an aunt called Sinead she'd never met when she saw old photos of me, so now she firmly believes Sean and Sinead are two different people.
