Parents
If your child has come out as non-binary, the best thing you can do is to actively support them. That means not only listening to them but also doing research about non-binary gender identities and changing their name and pronouns if they ask you to. This wiki is a good starting point for educating yourself, but this is a list of some other resources:
Online
- Transgender People, Gender Identity and Gender Expression (American Psychological Association): frequently asked questions about transgender people.
- Too Queer for Your Binary: Everything You Need to Know and More About Non-Binary Identities by Kaylee Jakubowski on Everyday Feminism.
- Forcing Kids To Stick To Gender Roles Can Actually Be Harmful To Their Health by Tara Culp-Ressler on ThinkProgress.
- Explaining genderqueer to those who are not by Micah on Neutrois Nonsense
Books
- The Transgender Child by Stephanie A. Brill and Rachel Pepper
- The Transgender Teen by Stephanie A. Brill and Lisa Kenney
