“If you assign your kid a binary gender at birth, but you want them to be honest with you about their identity, be honest with them about why you gave them an assignment. "Most people expect someone with your body to be a boy/girl, but they're wrong to assume that. There are boys, girls and non-binary people who look like you. I use these pronouns because that's what people expect but if you think I might be wrong or know that I am, all you need to do is tell me. You are the boss of your body and your identity. Only you know who you are, and I love you, believe you and support you and will fight for you no matter what." Kids never hear that. So many kids need to hear that.”
