One of my children is questioning their gender, and they seem at ease with non-binary. I found this out yesterday, so I’m approaching this gently, though I feel ill-prepared. I want to be who they need.
I’m curious about the experiences of other parents, or stories about your parents learning to adjust if you came out to them.
Follow-up: Thank you all so much for your stories and your feedback!
Our oldest tried transitioning pronouns when he was younger, but eventually realized that he is “a boy who likes girl stuff.” We reverted his pronouns and he has been a he ever since. There’s nothing special to do, just love them and do your best with any changes requested.
