One of my closest friends is saying they are non binary and has changed their name. I have gone along the route of not making it a big deal, like "ah that's nice pal, which film shall we go to see this weekend."
I don't know if this is the right tactic. I have been vocal about the fact that I don't understand why we would be boxing gender into stereo types- ie. Makeup and high heels does not a woman make. You can wear masculine looking clothes and still be a woman. Etc.
They now are saving for top surgery. Should I just keep with my current tactic? Im worried about side effects? They aren't on any hormones.
I just feel a bit like it's getting away from them, the name change etc has been very quick after announcing they are non binary.
I'm also a bit sad if I have the right to feel that.
