Not sure what country you’re in but if you’re 15 currently I’d be more concerned about your relationship. That is, if the legal age of consent is 16 as regardless of the morals around a relatively small age gap in the eyes of the law that is pedophilia. I anticipate your friend is OK seeming as his boyfriend is already at the age of consent.

A tangent: a 15yr old friend were caught getting frisky with their 15yr old boyfriend and they both got put on a sexual offenders list! Madness

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for your advice - it really helps as I’m very keen not to be a bystander in supporting trans rights in my country. It seems we’re at a tipping point and I want to be on the right side of history.

I had a rather ridiculous conversation with family just this week where an older aunt declared they couldn’t support “her” work colleague as “she” had indicated “she” would now like male pronouns. I ensured every incorrect pronoun received 2 correct ones until she knew she wouldn’t be allowed to get away with it :)

Thanks @ada, will do. This is very reassuring as I was concerned we were slipping from supportive into nosey! :)

So sorry for the slow reply - camping without mobile signal is a double edged sword! :)

Great advice, and very consistent with another couple of responses so thank you

Ok, this could really help us.

A friend’s now-daughter made it very clear what her new gender/name/pronouns were - great.

A neighbour seems to be transitioning to female but hasn’t in any way offered new pronouns.

We want to be supportive but not intrusive. Is it better to use “they” until they initiate/clarify? My wife said she’d ask their partner but I feel that’s trying to lead the conversation and could be pushing them before they’re ready.

Thanks

In the UK we almost have this in something called NCT (National Childbirth Tr. … ust).

It’s not compulsory and most only do it for their first but you’re kinda so shit scared that most tend to do it.

The knowledge is good but getting a close network of 5 other couples having a baby within a month of each other is invaluable…for the mums, the dad’s are shit at keeping in touch typically lol

Along the same lines…

“I could care less”

It doesn’t even make sense, just stop it America.

Jesus christ guys, can you mark this as a spoiler for those of us that haven’t got round to watching this yet /s
