At 11, my kid came out as nonbinary and changed her name and pronouns.
I immediately accepted my kid's new name but accidentally deadnamed her on a trip.
Saundrah and Annika went to get bubble tea, so I asked my kid if she wanted to go, too.
When she didn't react to me deadnaming her on our trip, I realized she had made peace with the transition.
I'd like to think this shift happened in part because she's been 100% supported in her gender journey.
