National Coming Out Day!

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

​

It’s National Coming Out Day!

Some kids choose this day to tell their parents that they’re transgender or nonbinary or some other flavor of gender-diverse.

AND coming out as transgender or nonbinary means your kiddo might tell you they have new pronouns – which are an extension and an expression of WHO THEY ARE.

So a HUGE step in supporting your newly-minted transgender child is to use the pronouns they ask you to use.

This will help your child feel affirmed and safe with YOU.

I know it’s hard – and practicing is the only way you’ll get better.

Lucky for you – I’m offering Pronoun Practice Mini Sessions!

Live, fun, private 20-minute sessions to practice your kid’s pronouns with someone who gets it. (that would be me)

All sorts of goodies come with the sessions, BUT I’m only offering them for 4 days (October 13-16) and then they’re GONE.

Gender identity. Pronouns. Gender expression. Transitioning. All the things. Understanding this stuff is hard. I get it. But parents, you don’t have to understand everything to be supportive.🫶 And you will probably never fully understand your transgender child’s journey, because it’s their journey, not yours. Just keep on loving, supporting, and affirming them the best that you can.💜 Mandy Giles Founder, Parents of Trans Youth p.s. Want to receive additional emails specific to Texas news and...

Using your child’s correct pronouns is how you tell them, “I see you and acknowledge who you are. And who you are is beautiful!” Affirming your child’s identity is how you strengthen your relationship with them. It’s how you move toward celebrating who they are. But it can be hard to use new pronouns, especially for someone you’ve known for a long time! Practicing is the answer. To celebrate International Pronouns Day on October 16, Parents of Trans Youth is offering Pronoun Practice private...
