don't wait for your kid to come out

tell them right now: i support and love you no matter your gender or sexuality

the bills in some states mandating teachers inform parents if their child is doing any kind of gender exploration does more than put kids whose parents will be violent at risk

it means any kids who are unsure how their parent will react cannot safely do any sort of gender exploration then come out to their parents when they feel ready

so right now. tell your kid. don't give them any room for doubt.
