[quote=Anonymous]My 13 yo DC has come out to our family as a trans by cutting his hair off himself and then saying that he wouldn’t have the courage to let us know until he did it. This is not a shock. For two years, he identified to family, but not publicly, as nonbinary using she/her pronouns. From elementary school, DC shared he thought he would become male after hearing from an older trans male student. He also has out nonbinary friends (but they recently seem to re-identify as cisgender). The truth is I’m secretly devastated. The past year, DC started wanting to do stereotypically girl activities with me, asking me to do their hair, volunteering that we should go together to beauty appts, etc. I enjoyed that time, and now the new reality really hurts. I have multiple kids and all genders are represented, but I am closest to this child. If anyone else has been through this, how do you support your DC without betraying your disappointment? [/quote]
