First off, I am still relatively new here, and I hope I don't offend anyone with any of these questions, but some things I've been wondering lately. And that I'm probably going to have to work through before too long.

Same sex/gender parents, do your children call both of you the same or different names?(mom/dad etc.)

Trans* parents, if you had children before you came out, did what they call you change? I've only been aware of one instance of this situation and the kids still called her dad.

I think I'm going to end up with that attitude on multiple things, unfortunately. 😓

Step 1 is probably coming out autistic, which I fully expect to be meet with the classic "you don't seem autistic" said to the person conditioned tonot present that way.

Good luck with it! Hopefully you don't get the "autistic people can't be trans" response. I sorta fell into that thinking when I was younger, but more in a "I must be missing something" since I knew I didn't get gender as a whole. Unfortunately too many people are willing to weaponize their ignorance instead of just admitting they don't understand something.
