[quote=Anonymous]I think there were always folks who felt out of place in their assigned sex and are now finding the words and acceptance to be public about it, and that is a good thing. I think there were probably always people who, given the language and acceptance would have considered whether their gender and sex differed, but after some time thinking about it and discussing with trusted friends, ultimately would decide it didn't. It seems like your kid's friend is cautiously exploring identity and doesn't want to make that too public, which is mature and reasonable. And it sounds like your kid is a trusted friend, and that she trusts you. So these are all good things. Your kid and her friend are literally not asking you to do anything--not change the name or pronouns you call the friend, nor do anything else. So be happy you raised a kid who is liked by her friends and likes you enough to share new and interesting things about her life with you, and find something different to worry about.  [/quote]
