When my kid was 4, he told me that he was a boy.

It happened at breakfast, between eating cereal and doing cartwheels. I answered, “Do you need my help to tell your friends today at school?”

He said “Yep”. Then he put on his usual basketball shorts, a colorful tee-shirt, a different shoe on each foot, and we walked to school.

That day he decided to use he/him pronouns.

In the classroom, he offered pronouns stickers to his friends so they could all show which pronoun they were using. All the kids were very excited to proudly wear their pronouns…
