My “daughter” identifies as “masc”? (lemmings.world)

I (39F) have a “daughter” (15 masc, 15M?) who I guess is now my son. He identifies as masc, which I guess is masculine? So I guess I will use he/him pronouns. And he prefers to be called James or Jimmy. Jimmy has talked about wanting to be a boy before, but he has been very vocal about it as of recent and at first I was just thinking it was a tomboy situation but now that he identifies as masc, I was thinking of how I can support Jimmy and get used to it.

How can you support him? Use the names he has asked you to use. Ask what pronouns he prefers and use them. Remind him that you love him and want him to be happy.

Beyond that, ask him what he wants from you. The answer might be nothing, or he might want new clothes, or help with school, or medical intervention like puberty blockers. If he wants to go that route, it will depend on where you live, but he will need a mental health specialist that specializes in children, preferably LGBT children.

The first three things are the most important. Transition is individual, not a set path, and he will have thoughts. Try not to make assumptions about what he wants.
