I was going to nursing school at the time. Since I started T right before spring semester, I decided that was my official new gender start date, and just made sure to explain the situation and that I would now be going by Ross and using he/him pronouns. It gave it a good solid start point, and since I had started a hormonal transition I could kinda use that as leverage.
It took a little while to get used to it myself, like growing into a new name that was just a little bit too big, and because of that it felt a little awkward to correct people. It felt like that for several months at least, especially while all my official school documents and other things were in my old name, but eventually it stopped feeling like I was imposing so much.

The children piled into Mr. Young’s dinky little car and it had driven off. Madame Tracy and Mr. Shadwell strapped on their helmets and rolled off on that dinky little scooter. That leaves Newt and Anathema to trod their way back to whatever thing they’d rolled in on.
“We could give you a ride. We’re parked just at the edge of the perimeter,” Newt offered.
“Thank you,” Aziraphale accepts.
He and Crowley follow the humans toward a gap in the distant chain link.
“So, you were saying?” Anathema sidles right up to Aziraphale and gives a pointed look to Crowley as she adds, “Before someone shushed you.”
Aziraphale lights up. “Oh, right! Well, in the garden…”
It takes several long-winded minutes just to get to Mesopotamia, so that’s where Crowley cuts in to pick up the pace. “Yeah, the ark.”
“I was getting there—”
“Sure. Then there was Jesus and then the Roman empire.”
“You tried your first oyster—”
“Mhm. Notable point in history.”
He rattles off all the major bullet points like a We Didn’t Start the Fire remix, allowing Aziraphale just enough to express the first thought on each before moving on to the next. The Crusades. The Globe Theatre. The guillotine. Witch Burnings. The Spanish Inquisition—
“You said you weren’t there for that one,” Aziraphale points out.
“I was there. At the right time. Not exactly the same places, though.”
“You were in Spain for the entire Inquisition?” Anathema asks.
Crowley shrugs. “Yeah, probably.”
He has no idea how long the thing actually ran.
She hums and gives him an appraising look. “Aprendiste algo cuando estuviste?”[1]
“Bastante.”
She smiles and it gives Crowley the smug feeling of having passed a test without trying. The conversation continues. In English, so as not to exclude the other two. After a silent struggle to cram his long legs into Dick Turpin’s narrow back seat, he does Anathema the favor of skipping ahead to Adam Young’s delivery. They cover most of the basics, in the convoluted way anything gets covered when Aziraphale and Crowley are explaining it at the same time.
“There’s the bus stop,” Newt interrupts, pulling the car to a halt at the curb. He turns in his seat to face them. “What will you do now?”
“I don’t know,” Aziraphale answers. Honest, lost, and soft.
“I will fall face first into bed and sleep for a week,” Crowley answers. No exaggeration.
Anathema turns in her seat and says, sweetly, “Entonces, que duermas con los angelitos.”[2]
Crowley’s jaw drops. He wonders if it’s unintentional—Nope. She’s not breaking eye contact. She knows what she said.
“What was that?” Aziraphale asks, oblivious.
Anathema looks at him, then back at Crowley.
“She said sleep well,” he mumbles.

Honestly, kids are so new to everything they usually don’t take too much convincing, and in almost every situation the younger the kid, the faster they pick up on it. Explain it using really matter-of-fact language like it’s something that just happens sometimes (because, hey, it is) “I’m a boy now- I know you usually call me auntie ______, but from now on I would like you to call me ‘uncle _____’, and talk about me like you’d talk about a boy.”
Kids’ understanding of the world is still really malleable, and they come around to new ideas a lot faster than their parents do- they’ll probably end up correcting their parents a lot of the time!

The other way of asking it of course, is why do the demons have people-shaped things beneath them to get them from place to place?
Now I’m imagining a sad snake-less person-shaped thing sitting and gathering cobwebs in Crowley’s personal corner of Hell.
This is UPSETTING for some reason??
Alternatively Crowley got creative about 100 years ago and turned his person-shaped thing into a car-shaped thing?
Upsetting to genuinely hilarious in .05.

Look at this shirt I found at Goodwill. The fact it is for an actual autopsy service makes it so much better
Holy shit.

Show Crowley (showley) goes to restaurants with aziraphale but he never eats anything, so;
Option 1 (boring) he is a celestial creature and doesn’t need to so he just doesn’t
Option 2(stupid) he eats a fancy mouse once a week and that’s it
Option 3 (very good actually) we never see him eat because (like a snake, which he is) he immediately swallows whatever’s on his plate whole as soon as its served and the waiter (terrified) has to just take the plate away
Option 4 (the best) same as option 3 but he swallows the plate as well
