My teen came out as nonbinary at 13. Here's what the last 3 years have taught us.

• A few years ago, my teen came out as nonbinary.
• I had to first learn what nonbinary meant to my teen and how I could be a better ally.
• We also take our child to safe spaces, while ensuring our home and school are safe for them, too.

A few years ago, our youngest child shared they were nonbinary at 13 years old.

At the time, I didn't know what that meant and didn't know anyone to turn to for advice. As their mother, I felt lost, confused, and uncertain of how to support my child.
