[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I would make this DC’s issue and DC’s problem to address. One of the consequences of going this route is having to explain it to people. Not your responsibility [/quote]
Agree. That’s how we approached with our teen. If you’re going to go the gender identity route, have the guts to tell people yourself. We are not here to do it for you. [/quote]

PO again. And for all those who worry about support, we are supporting our teen. I personally think it’s a misguided phase exacerbated by mental health issues and social media pressures, but I’m not telling my teen that and am supporting them and loving them as they work through their issues. Our relationship is strong.

But just as I can support my child in school without doing their homework for them, I can support my child’s gender choices without telling grandma for them. This is something they’re adult enough to handle on their own, so they should. If they’re mature enough to post extensively about their new identity on TikTok, demand that we file paperwork with the school to change their name, and tell me how they plan to get gender reassignment surgery when they’re in college, then they’re mature enough to explain it to grandma.

^^Hot damn! I wish there were more parents like you. Bravo mom!
