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!
Mum of a trans daughter here.I just thought AHA that explains some things. I had long expected her to come out as gay, trans hadn’t occurred to me. I support and love her best I can.It has been a pretty steep learning curve and trying to get her on various waiting lists was a nightmare.
But she is having her nose op today and Adams apple if all goes to plan (its the NHS,). I really do not care,she is my daughter and her happiness is the most important thing. I do worry a lot though,it is dangerous out there for her.
Trans and British? Damn, good luck to your daughter.
That’s rough… I wouldn’t want to be British
As a trans person i think I’d sooner transition from beign British than my gender
Yeah its getting a little iffy just the now what with Reform stirring up hate. Thanks though I will let her know.
