I gave my child their name at birth and I felt very attached to it. When they said they wanted to change their name, I had some complex emotions about it. We bonded by choosing their new name together, which was a pretty incredible moment.
—R, on gender-affirming bonding moments
My mom and I have never had a big discussion about gender. I’m not a big touchy feely type of person and I don’t think I ever really want or need that. What’s super meaningful to me, though, is all the little things my mom does to show she’s listening to me. When she uses my name and pronouns, even when she messes up but corrects herself, that is such a big deal to me because it means she’s respecting me and taking me seriously.
