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!


Similar situation: I’ve switched from saying “daughter” and “sister” to “child” and sibling. I’m not perfect at it yet and it doesn’t even appear that important to them, but I’m trying.
