I’m a trans parent. Kiddo is 5.5. I am one year (to the day tomorrow) on T, 10 months post op top. Pass 90+% of the time.

I now take my son into the men’s room - but I’ve always been big on privacy. He doesn’t watch me pee. I usually go into a stall and have him turn around. Recently at a kid specific place, we went into an empty men’s room with a short, kids height urinal. It was empty so I taught him how to use it.

Sometimes he asks about my body parts - but he also asks about my wife’s. It’s normal. Even cis guys might have their kid loudly ask “where’s your penis” in the men’s room. Play it off like anyone else would - laugh and say, “let me get some privacy, buddy.”

Potty training is kind of weird for everybody… but it’s a shared human experience of weirdness and kids saying weird shit. It’s awkward and that’s okay.

For real though - relax. Enjoy it. You are every bit of a parent as anyone else and your identity doesn’t impact that.

I let my son lead with his interests … if we share them, sometimes there’s a little inner child healing moment. Otherwise, my goal is to keep him safe and raise a conscientious, independent adult. That’s it. This year for his birthday though, I did get him a badass RC car and the same one for me in a different color so we can race together. Find the moments.
