[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow the parents lead or try to use first names. It’s possible that they are saying it out of habit. [b]It’s easy to slip when you have been saying she for 19 years and referring to your own kid[/b]. Don’t assume anything. [/quote] The bolded is very true. In my experience it is a LOT easier for people who have not know someone for a long time to use the preferred pronoun. As a parent, I slip a LOT. And it isn't because I am unsupportive. It is just an incredibly ingrained habit and way of viewing someone. I'm grateful my child understands this.[/quote]
