I didn’t really think about how having a gender non-conforming kid would affect our everyday tasks. Very simple little things I always took for granted.
Tasks made complicated by having a girl passing as a boy:
~Taking him into the girls bathroom
~Going to the women’s dressing room
~Shopping for clothes
~Remembering what pronouns to use with whom (public places=he, friends and relatives=she)
~Explaining the haircut
~Explaining why “a boy is wearing girls clothes” when he wears his old shirts
~Explaining why “a girl is wearing boys clothes” when he wears a baseball cap and Tony Hawk outfit in front of friends
~Going to the first day of practice for girls soccer
~Going to the first day of Gymnastics
There are a lot more. I never had to think about this when he was a she.
