Two Transgender Parents

So, I’m gonna try and make this short. I’ve been with my wife for almost two years. About a year ago, she told me she’s transgender (“male to female”). Several months later, I became pregnant with our daughter. I gave birth two weeks ago. As for myself, I have ALWAYS known I’m not a “girl.” I’ve always known that even if I feel as though I’m partially a girl, I am not the normal, never questions her gender kind of girl. Well, I’ve been wrestling with myself in my mind for weeks without a break, even though it’s been a major part of my thoughts and my life for years now, and I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that I am not a girl. I want to look like a guy, I want people to call me “he,” I’m sick of trying to be someone im not. But now im really struggling with thinking about my daughter, and what if she gets made fun of for having trans parents? I thought about this a thousand times before truly coming to terms with my identity, thinking, “maybe I should just pretend I’m not transgender, it’d be better for her.” But I know that having a parent who is constantly unhappy and unable to be themselves is much worse. I guess I just needed to vent, if anyone has advice at all, especially fellow trans people, that would be great. Thank you if you read this.
