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!
Could also be restated as “Your kid doesn’t owe you a goddamn thing.”
Nothing worse than “I need grandbabies” and “if you don’t get a good job how are you going to take care of me when I’m old” in the same fucking Christmas dinner.
