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!
Cis-het with a dash of bi here.
When I was younger I was terrified I might be gay. Not because my parents would disown me but because of all the social hooblah it would bring my way.
However I feel like I’d be less worried about that today vs couple decades ago.
TLDR its nice that society has become more accepting.
