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!
That’s how I read it and kinda how I see it. If my kid came out as gay, I’d have about the same reaction. Who we love is who we love and as long as the person isn’t a complete tool or something, if they make my kid happy, that’s what matters. I just hope I’ve instilled enough self respect into them to pick a good person irrespective of the state or lack thereof of dangly bits
