Hi Jake,My sister’s 14-year-old recently came out as non-binary and now goes by they/them pronouns. I respect this, but I have had some trouble making the adjustment. For the most part, I remember to use their correct pronouns, although I have slipped up on occasion. In my defense, this is still new to me and I’m only human!My “sibkid” (that’s what I call them now instead of “niece”) is pretty relaxed about it and seems to understand that I forget sometimes. (They are SUCH an awesome kid!) My sister, however, is another story.Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.She gets really upset whenever I mess up, even though I’ve told her it’s genuinely a mistake and I’m not trying to offend anyone. The last time it happened, she made me feel ashamed by saying it’s been six months and I should “know by now.” Then she accused me of not making enough of an effort to be an ally.Maybe I am being a bad aunt and ally? Or maybe I am being too sensitive? How do I communicate to my sister that I’m trying my best, but I’m also still learning, without making her mad?Absent-Minded AllyDear Absent-Minded Ally,The fact that you’ve taken to the term “sibkid” says it all! By doing so, you’re demonstrating that you’re honoring your sister’s child as best as you can, without imposing invalidating gender assumptions onto them (it also didn’t go unnoticed that you used the correct “they/them” pronouns in your email, which again, means you’re really thinking about this and trying).It’s not easy for anyone to suddenly change how to refer to someone, especially when you’ve spoken about them in a certain way for years.
