I didn't know if I would share this or not, but I figured posting something positive might be a good thing. So this happened last night, I was with my aunt who I had previously came out to as queer and who was very supportive about it. We were in the car, just me and her, going to get my stuff so I could stay with her for the night. And I had brought up earlier that day that I had came out to my mom and when she brought it up again I told her that my mom already knew I wasn't straight and that I had come out as something else. It took me awhile to get over my fear/anxiety and actually say it, but once I told her I wasn't a boy or a girl she asked me to explain a bit what that meant and what my labels were. I explained what binary and non binary genders were and that I identified as non binary and that it's an umbrella term and that my term inside of the umbrella is genderfluid and explained that my gender is exactly what it sounds like, fluid, which basically means that it uncontrollably changes from time to time. Once I explained it she told me that even though she doesn't completely understand it, she supports me and loves me all the same. After that we just talked a bit about me accidently coming out to my transphobic/homophobic grandpa and about the Lgbtq+ "panic" defense. But overall it went well and I'm glad I was able to tell someone else. The reason I wanted to share this is because I thought some people might need some positivity and/or hope and I just hoped that this might help even a bit. <3

I adore when people who don't quite get somebody's indentity are trying their best to support them. It just shows how sweet they truly are. I'm happy you have someone like that and that they were so unconditonally kind. I love hearing nice stories like this one ^^
That's so great!! ♡
And spreading positivity never hurt anybody 😊
