If your child came out to you, how did you adjust? (piefed.muxika.org)

One of my children is questioning their gender, and they seem at ease with non-binary. I found this out yesterday, so I'm approaching this gently, though I feel ill-prepared. I want to be who they need.

I'm curious about the experiences of other parents, or stories about your parents learning to adjust if you came out to them.

Follow-up: Thank you all so much for your stories and your feedback!

Wouldn't care or even change anything. In Finnish hän is gender neutral anyway.

Only difference is I'd suggest they look into maybe going into a professional field that can research biological transition even better, so they can maybe discover a pill that lets them change sex all the way without surgery or something one. Never know.

In the meantime, I'd start to put aside a "trans surgery" fund for them.
