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!
I technically have adopted a son. This son, who I once knew as a female. But, it is without question, that I see them as, know them as and treat them as the kind of son equally as I would if they were my daughter. It helps to relate with them, when you’re one of them too. So, it was all easy.
