Jul 3, 2019 at 21:42 comment added jcmack I think it's important that your child have all of the facts before doing anything permanent, but do not do not make your child's transition about you and what you want. Because you're not transgender yourself, you may not really fully understand why surgery is needed or not needed. Please do not impress your own opinion on your child. Some queer people get surgery and still identify as genderqueer.

Jun 29, 2019 at 1:58 comment added anongoodnurse Thanks for clarifying the quotation marks. As to "they", we use it for binary/non-binary/anyone-and-everyone when we are not being specific.
Jun 29, 2019 at 1:35 comment added SnappingShrimp @anongoodnurse As far as "they" goes, Oldest has a non-binary friend and we they/them/theirs that young person. It seems odd to use when Oldest is not feeling non-binary but on the contrary, quite binary. The stiltedness of s/he his/her for me reflects the awkward gender dichotomy we're struggling to be open to. Feel free to edit if you think it takes away from the question.
Jun 29, 2019 at 1:32 comment added SnappingShrimp @anongoodnurse I see where it looks condescending to quote "thinks" but the point is that it was the literal word from Oldest's mouth. Not "knows" or "believes." I thought "think" was a little odd phrasing from Oldest, so I quoted it.
Jun 28, 2019 at 22:08 comment added anongoodnurse Why is "thinks" in quotation marks? Not an answer, but I almost never see he/she, s/he, his/her anymore. Most commonly, I see "they" for the pronoun. They is fine for the singular in English. (E.g. The student left school early because they had a doctor's appointment.)
