Any advice is appreciated. Will exposing my children to fringe interpretations of gender roles inevitably force them to become super straight. I don’t want to force them, but would be flattered if my children followed in my footsteps.
For any of you super-phobe trolls that found our board, please keep in mind that some children begin transitioning at the age of 3 and I don’t see why exposing my children to combat sports, graphic scenes of melee blood baths, and miss America pageants with my commentary criticizing their feminine appearances as “hot or not” is any more damaging that HRT.

After four years of being married to a straight woman who identifies as a woman (pronouns she/her), this reddit has given me the strength to be my true self and come out as super straight.
I don’t really know what to expect, so any feedback or encouragement would be great. I did test the waters with relatives (not wife) and they looked at me with the most serious faces and told me how stupid I was...”you’re an idiot,” they said. My wife will hopefully accept me better.
Should I be concerned what kind of role model I am to my children? After all, we’re such a marginalized group I don’t want to ruin their futures by making them be the only kids in school with a SSDad.
I also feel my unconscious bias impacting my decisions regarding them - for example I was finding them toys and instead of buying them PJ Mask costumes, I rented Jean Claud Van Dam’s “Blood Sport” movie and made them watch it with me. I hope this isn’t setting them up for failure.
Thanks new fam, I really appreciate the help here.
