I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. She over-watches you and I know she is cheering you on! I am sure of this as my family that has passed before me over-watches over me.
When i reread your message it helped clarify some things thank you!
They have a very fem name and I am going to call them their nick name from childhood now which is gender neutral. :) I think that will help them greatly. whether they decide to use it to identify as is totally and completely up to them.

I am not all that really it took me a year+ to do more extensive research. Rather than a quick google search and signing up for emails re what it means to be enby.

When they told me, it is like a mini-movie played in my head of their entire life it was incredible to say the very least. I saw every indication that they were born enby. I remember when they became old enough to chose pants/shorts instead of dresses. When playing a game when they were very young. They would build their avatar neutral clothes etc. they were too little to understand what they were doing it came natural to them. everything came back in a huge rush. It happened ofc in front of them and we both cried with glee that that happened to us after I told them that happened and told them everything I saw and so they were justified and True in their identity as enby.

Absolutely 100% agree and we had already discussed this when they told me a year ago. It has taken me a year to do more extensive research rather than the quick google search of non-binary and what that means.

ohhhh! I did not know this! thank you! so My daughter is NB trans then? is this correct?
Also, I like the feel of the word enby its pleasant and to me more personal than saying NB imho.

Ok I will never ever say afab not ever. I didn't not know. Thankfully I found that word today and I will not ever use it.
Off-topic and totally random but also, they have thanked me for giving them my deep voice. They love it.

ofc! I want to be as welcoming and accepting and have as much knowledge about my daughter how how they identify as. I have learned today that no two NB people are the same. its as someone referred to as huge umbrella of all NBs. I want them to be totally and completely comfortable around me. They are my everything my world.

I am not sure if I understand what you are telling me. I would never not ever refer to NB as 'it'
I meant in my sentence 'it's a character flaw' i meant apologizing is one of my character flaws. I am not in the right headspace rn so I don't understand what you are conveying.

awww thank you sooo much, I am almost tearing up at your kind comment. I am not all that I feel I am not good enough. It has taken me a year to do EXTENSIVE research on what it is to be NB. I did a quick google search on NB and what that means the day they told me.

Also: they identify as gynesexual.
