[quote=Anonymous]Lots of discussion about teens and gender lately, here’s a situation I have encountered numerous times so assume others have as well and curious what you do. My 19 yo dd has a number of friends and acquaintances who have indicated publicly that their preferred pronoun is “they.” Great, I’m totally on board and do my best to remember. But I’ve noticed in every single case when I bump into their parents and we’re doing the quick check in on life/kids the parents continue to use “she.” We live in a pretty progressive area, these are all parents who seem pretty thoughtful and open-minded. My workaround is just to always refer to their kid by first name since it feels strange to essentially contradict a parent on their kids’ identity. But avoiding pronouns gets clunky too. How do/would you handle?[/quote]
