Give Grandma a Break
<p>Thankfully, our friends and community around here had no issues. We live in a liberal blue bubble, and some days, it seems more tweens than not are playing with gender norms by selecting new names and pronouns. So Nico was no outlier.</p>
<p>My family was also accepting — perhaps questioning (to me, not to Nico), but overall, accepting. They adapted to using Nico with no problem. As for pronoun usage— well, they try. Sometimes, Grandma succeeded with using they/them pronouns, but often she stumbled. I asked Nico if they wanted me to be more vigilant with their grandmother, to ensure she’d catch on faster. Nico said no.</p>
