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!
Leave out the grandchildren bit, it’s unnecessary, condescending, and presumptive. Grandchildren shouldn’t be expected (unless a person has expressed a desire to have children) and is completely irrelevant for such a conversation.
I agree, updated the post
Tha k you for being a considerate ally
