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.

Puberty is often a time of change, and puts more emotional pressure on teens to find and embrace personal identity. And due to hormones, it's often a time to act before unwanted changes happen.

There are many ways to support, like practicing pronouns and new name, but having conversations about what he needs to feel safe and supported is probably the best way to navigate it together. I would focus on figuring out what his medical needs may be, like puberty blockers or HRT, and if updating legal name is gender is something he wants to do.

Just try to find a pace to move forward that works for all of you.
