Hi all. I am hoping that it is ok for the parent of a nonbinary child to join here. The idea of gender being a spectrum, rather than a dichotomy has always made sense to me. I love my child and want the best for them, whatever fulfills and makes them happy. I struggle with pronouns, though, which is due to how aggressively adults beat "proper word use" into me as a child (teachers with paddles, rulers cracked over children's knuckles or desk top, etc). I hope to learn here and become the most supportive person that I can be.

Well you're off to an amazing start. Reaching out and trying to understand is the best thing you can do. And it's true. Anyone can be here was long as they're not making anyone feel victimized.
Your child is extremely lucky. It's a tough world to be in sometimes but with a healthy home life it isn't as scary. A soft place to land after the hard world had as go at you I'd truly the best thing they could ask for.

"They" used to act the same as "You" in that it could be both plural and singular. It wasn't until later that people decided it shouldn't be used singularly. If you're not sure how to use it, reference "you". Use (and supply) context to determine plurality, "are" instead of "is". I personally use "themself" as we distinguish between "yourself" and "yourselves", but there's mixed information about that. Either way, "they" is an appropriate and viable third person singular pronoun that doesn't indicate or misgender with a binary gender.

Thank you!

As far as I am concerned, if you are not a racist, bigoted, misogynist and have an open mind and heart - then hells yes, you are welcome here.

But that's just me - I'll be over there if you need me.

I'm cis-male and have been welcomed here, no kids...just supportive.

I'm sure you'll be very welcomed and maybe others here can give you good info or just being supportive is also necessary.

Posted by BookDeathHere's a pic of my new haircut! I got it for ACE WEEK! The comet symbol represents GENDER NEUTRAL and the circle represents ACE.

Posted by BookDeathI FINALLY got my binder from g2cb! I bought one of the nude tank binders. It is proving a life-changing experience. I do not why I waited so long?

Posted by birdingnutI'm a nonbinary/partial transmale, but luckily I'm taking high THC Indicus cannabis oil for cancer treatment, which suppresses my strong male tendencies.

Posted by PeevesWhen I was in school for photography I discovered my professor was quite against gay rights and thought we just needed to meet someone good in bed and get some mental help.

Posted by BookDeathI also posted this in the LGBTQ group so it's a cross-posting. For Pride Month, I designed my own Chucks at Converse. I can't afford them (yet) but felt like showing off my creation!
