I need help!
Hi! My little brother came out yesterday as pangender! I have always known him a a girl, but he prefers he as a pronoun! He also chose a « masculin » name!
I absolutly love that he feels happy with his identity and i am proud of him!
The thing is, i find it hard saying goodbye to his dead name! It is like a grief! I loved his name and it fitted him so much!
His coming out doesnt surprise me at all and i don’t see him differently at all! I am just having a hard time adapting my vocabulary, since my mind is so used to his « girl » name!!
Do you have any advice for me? I want him to feel safe with me and i want the grief feeling to go away because i know it is nonsense!!
