Gender Identity Update #4
I will be doing a series every week from Monday to Friday on one topic that screams me to talk about.
How to support a person who is figuring out their gender identity.
Be supportive of all people and all genders by having an environment that is suitable for everyone. Try to be inclusive of everyone that is around you. Never make people feel they are unwelcome or uninvited as that will cause problems down the right. People want to know that everything, they want to go to will allow them to come for who they are on the inside. They don't want to have to change anything just so they can go somewhere, and if they do, that will lead down to mental issues that they might already be feeling.
Learn more about the situations that might come up and don't be afraid to have more knowledge. If you are able to do research on your own around anything that might come up regarding people gender identity that is better then learning on the fly. People like to know that you have at least thought about what they are going through, and make an effort to accept them for who they are. Always make sure that you are learning from each situation and trying to move forward to understand the world others are coming from.
Almost always ask questions if you feel like you don't know what to say. Please ask questions to people who you might not understand fully of what they are going through. The answer might not be what you want to hear but people will be more understanding to you if you ask questions of them. The more you do that and the less you assume, people will be happier to be around you.
Ask people about their preferred gender pronouns (PGP) as that will make anyone feel more comfortable around you. People whoever you are, if you are confused about your gender identity or totally understand this, please ask PGP questions as that will mean you understand what this means in general. Most people don't even understand what this is so asking people is key to helping.
Learn to say you are sorry as you will make mistakes like everyone does. Please say your sorry in all situations were you think you did something wrong even if you didn't. These kind of mistakes might not seem a lot to you but to the people who is still trying to figure out their identity, this is a key one.
Stand up for people who are the minority and become an ally.
If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts, please leave them below and I will get them when I have a chance. I would love to hear what other people think.
