[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know little kids don't know better, but in large gatherings when they have no filter it can be extremely awkward if I'm misgendered. How should I handle this?[/quote] "oh hey I'm Mr Jones actually!" or "oh I'm just Jones, no Mr or Mrs!" Kids will be like "ok" and move along. Kids don't care, only adults do. I say, you do you and don't be afraid to just be politely like "oh my words are she/her!" or whatever. [/quote] I like and agree with this, but I encourage you to have patience if they still get it wrong. I have an autistic kid that doesn’t come across as autistic, and one of his challenges is using the correct pronouns. He was just using them interchangeably, so we had to teach him to match how a person identifies, but the black/white thinking that goes with autism has made it really hard for him to correctly gender long haired men for example. It’s a work in progress…[/quote]
