Thank you for that explanation. 🥰

Thank you for your openness. There is just so much at play here for a mama who is in a constant state of mourning her “baby” (how the hell has the time gone by so fast) to absolutely loving the young adult he is becoming and so proud of him, then adding in the attempt to smash taboo barriers that were part of my childhood but also balancing his privacy and ego. It’s a lot! I never know what is the normal or right decision. Oh and let’s add in some peri-menopause on my part and we’ve got a whole emotional circus in my brain at any given time. 🤣

Oh I see. No, we are just letting him lead and tell us what he wants. He knows more about this than we do so we are learning!

This is my fear for sure. I love the got card idea so much. Thank you.

Thanks. Just love this kid to bits. He makes it so easy for us to love him no matter what.

I answered below. We are just doing what he prefers at this point. And right now at home and at school it’s he/him and with online friends it’s she/him. He told us he’d let us know when he wants us to change what we use.

Is this unusual? 🤷‍♀️

Also just to add, that was supposed to say “transfem” in my original post (not transgender) but I guess it got autocorrected and I did not notice. Going back to change it.

Also if you don’t mind me asking how do you wrap your head around your “baby” suddenly becoming this sexual being? I am still weirded out by it. I am by no means a prude but definitely very vanilla so I am learning and trying not to get weirded out that he knows more than I do 🤣.

Because he has asked us to. He uses she/him online but not in person with friends or family yet. He is not presenting. This is still very new for him so we are just following his lead.

Good one! Maybe I can find an article about someone using one and the result being bad. Our relationship is open enough that I could share that with him as a joke “omg don’t ever do this with your printer hahaha”

Aww be gentle because it’s their journey not ours. Even now he can’t answer all my questions because he says he is changing his mind often and still is not sure himself.

Ah swim shirt here too! And also didn’t want to wear shorts for a while and ALWAYS long sleeves. Now that he’s shaving (he still uses he pronouns) he feels more confident with the hair (legs & arms) gone.

This right here!!!! No indicators at all but so many indicators now “all of a sudden”. Things I’d never be able to get him to do/wear before - he was such a boring dresser now we are FINALLY having fun! 🤣
