Child exploring gender - how to best support?
My kiddo (9) just got back from overnight camp and let me know they introduced themselves using they/them pronouns. I asked them how they were feeling in their body+brain as far as their gender, and they said they're feeling nonbinary. I think this could be a really great time for them to explore gender and gender expression and figure out what it all means to them personally - my husband and I want to be 100% supportive. This is all pretty new to both of us and we want to make sure we're doing it correctly. Any parents of trans/nonbinary kids on here able to drop any advice?
If it's important - my kid is best friends with my little sister, who is 1 year older. She is also crazy supportive, as are my parents who are huge part of our lives. I coparent my child with my ex, who is their dad. He is pretty conservative and can be really dismissive. I expressed to my child that we should wait before saying anything to their dad.
