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!
When my daughter came out as gay to me I was so happy she’d fallen for her best friend. I love them both like daughters. Screw lazy men, they are so happy together.
When my son came out as a trans woman I was ecstatic that they’d realised what was making them so anxious and depressed, boobs suit her :) Just be supportive they need it so much. It doesn’t change who they are, your child.
