I've come here seeking advice.
My niece is 5, and she is sweet as can be. She is very attached to me and my wife.
My nieces father came to me and told me that my niece told him that she didn't feel normal, that she felt like she was a boy and that she liked girls, and has asked me to talk to her about everything because of who I am in her life (mind you we are all very supportive of whatever she is because we always knew she was different)
What I am torn with is how I should explain this lifestyle to my niece and make her feel comfortable in her skin. I am a femme, my wife is a dyke but doesn't really "identify" and I think she relates to my wife more, I've never done this before, so any advice on how I could explain gender identity to my niece is greatly appreciated
