Would my daughter call me mum ?

Hi

I am a transgender single dad who is going through the transition to being a woman, there is another thread I started that explains it all.

My daughter has not seen me as a woman even though physically I am very feminine due to hormones, I still live as a man. However I am hoping to make the change in the next few months. But what would my daughter call me ? Would she call me mum ? I would like her to but she's only nearly 6 and I don't know if it would be to strange for her ?

Hi everyone

Thanks for all the support, its been a hard week and im finding being a woman very hard. Having to do a daily make up routine and find clothes that fit me and find my image is really difficult.

Some people have started to shy away from me now and some are just horrible. I had a big argument with one of my dds friends dad the other day at the school because he does not want my dd playing with his daughter, now this really upset me. My daughter has been very excepting of me and if anything we have been closer than ever since i begun living as a woman.

I am still waiting for my appointment at the hospital with a gender specialist but i feel i need help with day to day stuff, just having no female friends really makes things hard as i have no one to help or give me advice, or go shopping with. No matter how much my body has changed from the hormones being a convincing women is hard :(

Have you contacted any local LGBT groups for support and to find other transgendered women?

You will, I'm afraid, experience a lot of nasty shit but stay strong and eventually they will move onto the next thing. Plus people will stop seeing you as the man you were and the woman you now are.

I would avoid getting into any fights at the school gates as that will put people off far more than you being a woman. If I saw anyone fighting at the school gates I would be seriously rethinking my DS friendship with the family and it would having nothing to do with them being transgendered. Keep the moral high ground and let the nasty shit wash over you. Very hard I know.
