Quotes to ponder:

"Although this is new to you, it is not always new to your loved one."

"When your partner first tells you that they are questioning their gender or that they’re trans or nonbinary, it’s normal to have questions."

"The best way to start is through affirmative behavior. Your loved one may ask to go by different pronouns than they previously did."
