[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll say that as the parent of an 11-year-old “they” I am supportive in theory but all over the place in terms of actual practice. This kid also goes by different names with different sets of friends and I sometimes have trouble remembering which name to use with who and I often forget and say “she.” I try but sometimes I’m more intent on getting it right than other times when I just fall back on the old familiar language.[/quote] And really, the do have to learn to deal with this gracefully. People aren't perfect, and they are going to get it wrong a lot. They have to be able to judge the difference between mistakes and hate.[/quote]
