I’m non binary but I sat down to consider doing a gender recognition certificate yesterday.
I don’t think the UK is going to change in my lifetime to include non binary recognition so if not boy, then girl right?
But I was reading the statutory declaration you have to get notarised and it gets to the bit “I have lived as a … [female]” and I just can’t bring myself to write that. That’s not who I am. That’s not who I will ever be.
I don’t need the government’s blessing to be valid, but all I want is an X in my fucking passport.
This feels like a fedi question:
Does anyone have resources both for older parents, and their kids, for explaining #gender and transition?
Something like a coming out guide, but also how to support your parents, giving them space to understand new things.
Reading material is probably preferred over online given the age involved.
