If you have kids, like I have a 14yr old, how do you talk about the global situation with them?

My kid is not watching news at all and is oblivious to the situation. They don't live with me, so we have little time to talk. They face more than one oppressive component in their life and I struggle to determine what I can do or educate them on to make them better prepared, resilient and radicalised without traumatising or harming them.

I would appreciate your advice, from whoever parent reads this.

Hey, Frage an meine #trans Bubble: wisst ihr von irgendwelchen Organisationen für Eltern von (auch erwachsenen) trans Personen? Weniger als "Selbsthilfegruppe" sondern eher als Verbündeten-Organisation. Oder generell Organisationen für Verbündete (allies)?

Ich frage für eine ältere Person, die gern stärker für trans Personen einstehen würde, nicht auf social media ist und etwas tun möchte - sich aber die Organisation einer solchen Gruppe nicht selber zutraut.

New euphoria level unlocked: invited to a moms group.

So my kid officially came out as non-binary yesterday.

For reference: they told us they were queer a few years ago - lesbian at first, but seem to have settled on bisexual for now. When we went to register them for school, they asked to be listed as non-binary and she/her/they/them pronouns (and, as a side note, I absolutely LOVE living somewhere where preferred name and pronouns on a school form is a thing.)

Yesterday, we went to a PFLAG family picnic, and when going around doing introductions, they announced their new name and pronouns as she/they.

Honestly pretty proud of my kiddo and further encouragement that moving was the right move.

Absolute Empfehlung!

I am curious on why some #trans people get rejected by their parents. Are the any #transparents out there that can weigh in their thought process when their child came out to them as trans? How hard was it to come to terms?
