[quote=Anonymous]My spouse transitioned when my kid was 2. She just accepted it. There was a quick conversation about how he names were changing ("don't call me mommy, call me (name)") and we had to gently correct pronouns for a while, but it all clicked pretty quickly. Four might be harder, but I'd just tell the kid how it is and see if he has questions. If so, answer honestly, "Uncle so and so thought he was a girl, but had realized he's actually a boy. It's not something that happens to many people, but sometimes it does. We call him Uncle and we still love him." I think there'll be fewer questions than you think, though.[/quote]
