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.

How old is she?

So, obv I’m not experienced in this scenario, but I can say that children are resilient and she will adapt. If she is loved and reassured and you’re open and honest with her she will see that you are the same person she loved before.

Also I would say that she is old enough for you to explain your feelings (simply) to her and that your choices are not done to hurt her but to make you happier and that will make you a better uncle / aunt in the long run than you could be if you were living unhappily.

I base this on my own experience but also my friends experiences of having to tell their children that they are separating. Which happened to me when I was six. My mum explained my parents still loved me but were unhappy being together and would be happier, better parents living

apart. It’s hard of course and I cried a lot and grieved for the family life I had but with love and care and discourse I got through it relatively unscathed. Kids do. They adapt. Be there for her. Answer her questions. She will be ok.
