hey guys.. just wanted to get some advice on how to politely re-re-explain to a senior citizen that realizing you are genderfluid is not a phase and that you use they/them pronouns and rarely use she/they. my grandmother told my friend and her mother while i was out of earshot that she thought i was going through a phase a few days ago and its been eating at me ever since. i told my mom on sunday as soon as my grandmother was out of earshot and she talked to her, telling her to use they/them pronouns, but it did no good. we (me, my friend, her mom, and my grandmother) went out to dinner and she still used she/her pronouns. anyways, all i need is some advice to help my mom out because i dont have the patience and confidence or any more anxiety to waste on anxiety attacks. if you want to post on my mom's message board, her user is @DailyWriter252 you can also post under here and i'll show it to her so its easier. thank you so much guys. i love you all so much. <3

@cvsmix_mvvn I don't have much in the way of advice, but here's what I do. I identify as a demi-boy (I used to be simply non-binary). I haven't told my grandparents I'm a demi-boy (YET) but whenever my mimi would purposely call me a she/her or granddaughter, I would correct her gently. She usually says: "But you're still my grandDAUGHTER" but she's somewhat working on the they/them. As for mom, I don't have any advice. Sorry!
