As a very liberal nonbinary person: I'm intentionally choosing names that are genderless. Keanu, for example. My children will be free to go as whatever they think fits them, and have the right to be referred to as whatever they want. Perhaps unfortunately for them, they will not be allowed any level of medical intervention until they're 24 or out of my house (because I won't be able to stop them). People hardly let 12-year-olds with PMDD take birth control to ease the excruciating pain, because chemical and hormonal treatments can be harsh on a child's physical and mental development. You're not fully mentally developed until 24/25, so until your brain stops growing, don't fuck with that shit. 

 Similarly, even at 18, they'll need to be out of my house for unsupervised weed/alcohol consumption. Because shit can affect your brain development 🙄 

 Thanks for sharing your experience. I was fortunate enough to gain insight into the LGBTQ+ community through talks, work, and studies in college. It provided me with a valuable perspective. 

I must say, I have nothing but respect for parents conveying their beliefs to their children, beliefs they hold dear, while safeguarding their health.
