Plot twist: Grandmas just mad she’s been knitting sweaters with the wrong name on them for years, not the actual name change.

Me being a genderfluid bisexual with homophobic/transphobic parents: this. This is the dream

I asked my mom tell my grandmother that I was non-binary, and I was really scared that my grandmother would hate me or ignore me, that she would see me completely differently. Thankfully, she mainly took it well and is trying to use they/them pronouns and not refer to me as my deadname anymore. :)

Why do people care so much? Charlie isn't even that different, many people named Charlotte go by something like Charlie or Lottie

If my grandparents found out: Beta, what the hell are you talking about? Edit: I swear to fvck if y’all ask me if my name is beta.

I have an extremely transphobic grandmother so this reminds me of when my transgender brother named Charlie whose dead name is Charlotte came out

Charlies unite! Idk what's up with all of the hateful comments lately, but I hope your day goes really well ♡

I had to have my grandma understand what they them pronouns were by just telling her to refer to me as a swarm of bees.

My grandma told me, I don’t know what you are but I’ll always love you, and she’s good at the he/him pronouns but the they/them is a little harder for her. She’s honestly so sweet and she calls me her favourite grandchild instead of granddaughter

My middle offspring just super bravely told *everyone* they’re gender non-binary and is now going by Alyx. I’m super blown away as I was very very invested in my in-the-closet-bunker regarding my Bi status until I was 38. Just wow, I’m so proud of them! My generation is all fine with it, but my Nana & Ghee (their only great-grandparents) are VERY confused. He’s almost 91, she just turned 88, and they were raised by very “boys do boy stuff, never girl stuff, and vice versa. ANY deviations from traditional norms is cause for bearings and so much church shaming,” people. They’re being as kind as always to my Middle, but I’m getting SO MANY QUESTIONS! Most of which are answered, “I can ask Alyx. I identify as female so I don’t know all the reasons and feeling behind their announcements. The easiest way to explain it is clothes, makeup, nail polish, jewelry, activities, etc don’t have a gender. People like to assign a gender to things, but that’s dumb because they’re just things wo a base gender. You’re fine w my Pre-K son wearing bring red nail polish w gold flakes even tho he’s a he, right? Because it’s just nail polish, it makes him super happy, and who cares if a boy has pretty nail’s ? It’s like that, but for everything.” Anyone who is able to explain this a little better to grandparents in their 90’s is more than welcome to comment and offer advice! My kids are my kids and I’m going to support them no matter what, and so are my grandparents/their great grandparents. No one is going to get shamed, disowned, or sent to any kind of “you’re actually a single gender person you’re just confused,” therapy because that’s an inexcusable way to treat your (or anyone else’s!) offspring. So! If that’s your big contribution to the conversation I *will* blatantly ignore you. Same for anyone asking about my child’s genitalia. When the actual f**k did it become acceptable to ask what is in a child’s (or anyone’s, really) underwear or attempt to determine what gender someone else is in any way?!

Oh the same thing happened to me but the thing that angered my mum the most was that my gran called me “a very pretty girl” then asked why I’m non binary

We need to meet Uncle Paul!

My grandma just sat there stunned and I was worried she was mad I was non binary, but the next day she visited my room with a rainbow sweater that said “proud”

Ngl ever since coming out as genderfluid I've just felt a lot more happier 💓🤍💜🖤💙

When I told my grandparents they were like “okay, now here’s 20 bucks. ❤️”

Ayoooo my chosen name is charlie! People at my school like to try and guess my dead name, BUT MY DEAD NAME IS AT THE END OF THE ALPHABET AND THEY ALWAYS GUESS CHARLOTTE🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

My 87(?) Year old oma is trying her best and I can't help but find it a lil funny when she introduces me as her grandson and then calls me she. Example "that's my grandson, shes over for the week quilting" Obviously not entirely word for word but shes doin her best

me who is a non-binary kid name charlie with a homophobic grandmother and a kinda supporter mom: this made my day

my momo, my grandma, calls me neo, my preferred name. It’s my dad that hates it.

...I wish my parents were like this

I came out to my parents as bisexual last week and it went very well💙 💜💗 Edit: HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS IS THE MOST LIKES IVE EVER GOTTEN TYSM!!!

My grandmother was super supportive from the get-go and my suuuuuuper-conservative grandpa doesn't quite understand me being trans but he called me his grandson and by my preferred name so I'm good ig lmao

My grandma hates my name that I chose, I haven’t seen her for over a year, because knowing her, she’ll comment on my name and I don’t want to hear it

POV: you go by Charlie 🧍

I used to go by charlotte and now Charlie too 😅😅

Shout out to my Yaya who tries her best! I just noticed her using They/Them at our last family gathering and she told me that she loves me no matter what, and that the world is constantly changing, and if she were to dig her heels in the ground now she would get left behind LOVE YOU YAYA

what’s so crazy is my sibling changed their name and my grandma took it better than my parents. i have a one hell of a respectful grandma 🥰

I am so happy that you make these videos. The haters are just squeaky little mosquitos, that is to be brushed away. It means so much to me to feel that there are people like me out there, that we can share and help each other, and laugh about our challenges.

Sad LOL, I called my kiddo "them" Infront of my MIL, and she asked if my kid had multiple personality disorders.

the fact that i got the first part RIGHT before this video-

offtopic but charlotte is the most animal crossing character name i can already imagine her with a plant mister in a little library in the museum

I have a friend that is Non-Binary and has changed their name and they prefer Charley not Charlotte!!

Oh same. My family already hates me for being bi, I'm not bothering with telling them I go by sal now. Edit: my mom tried to drop both the they/them pronouns and my new name and I think my grandma went deaf because she didn't even react to that. She also hasn't acknowledged it happened at all and still misgenders me.

Idk what's with all the haters on this channel recently but anyway here is a positive comment to try to balance things out! I hope you have a lovely day and that you are safe and healthy and something makes you smile today 💕✨💐🌻🌈🏳️‍🌈💙💗🤍💗💙

Lol my family knows I tbh i don’t think anyone cares lol (not like in a bad way) I sorta just randomly dropped it into conversation and they were just kinda like “huh…oh okay…” but no one protested or anything like that. I know my family is extremely accepting. Now I can joke about stuff during family dinners like my uncle telling me I can’t date guys till I’m 30 so I proceeded to say “what about girls?” And the entire table erupted into laughter (apparently I’m allowed to date girls lol)

Cant wait to eventually come out to my family as pan. My mom knows and she's pretty alright with it but the rest of my family is a lot more..old fashioned?

I have no idea what intervention means but this is funny

My nephew came out to my family and my Christian grandmother his great grandmother tried and used the correct ones for him she still slipped sometimes but my nephew knew she tried and that meant the world to him

I’m Non-binary and my name is now Charlie

My whole family is Christian and I'm pretty sure they already know I'm Non-binary and a raging pansexual

kids can’t make those type of decisions. they are kids.

Ooof. When my cousin came out my Grandma did the whole “it’s just a phase” thing. At least it warned me to keep my trap shut.😢

I have an uncle Paul so the end cracked me up 😂😂😂

I’m probably never gonna tell my grandparents cause I literally NEVER see them and they’re old so it doesn’t really matter I know they wouldn’t understand anyway, and my grandma disowned my cousin when he came out as trans so I know my mom wouldn’t want her to know.

I wish my parents supported me that much. I told them and my mother just said I was confused and my father told me I was just confused. Some of you are lucky!

When I came out as non binary no joke my parents bought me so much pride stuff🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️

I really hope my grandma isn’t like this when I come out

I came out as trans to my dad the last weekend and it surprisingly went really well! Thanks for all these videos, they’ve really helped me and I love your content! Hope you have an incredible day mate! ^^

If I ever have kids I'ma just refer to them as "momma's sweet lil' baby sprout!!!" until they're old enough to tell me how they're comfortable identifying👌 lol

“Who doesn’t love a little family drama” 😂😂😂😂

I guess I'm lucky I'm the oldest living person in my family.

All this pride stuff is bs

I'm happy to have a Mom, and Grandma who support me

When my grandmother was told my that my sibling is queer (unfortunately someone told my grandmother without their permission and preparation) she just said "Okay, I knew at least one of them was." PFTT it was funny, my grandmother is understanding but coming out to people can be scary and i'm glad she was so nonchalant about it and doesn't treat my sibling any different.🤍

god, this reminds me of when i tried to come out to my grandparents i was living with for a while. no acceptance or even acknowledgement of it, just “you’ll always be our little girl,[deadname]”

Can I be friends with your grandma? She sounds like she has some sense in her head.

They/them isnt for a person its for a group Learn 2nd grade english

Watching my father who is very hard of hearing trying to follow a they/them pronouns...he gets confused because he really can't tell if he missed a subject of the sentence.

Opposite for me…my grandma is supportive and my parents hate it

While I emphasized with you, do remember your grandmother is “grand” because she is two generations before you, times changes and often that can be scary when you don’t understand much of the world as it is.

ok but I don't get the joke

Dude my grandma found out my online name was Charlie and she calls me it now-

Nobody in my family (including my grandparents) gave two shits about my identity and just went with it

Their videos make my day much better!

Me being named Charlotte and wanting to go by Charlie 👁️👄👁️

My mom was hanging out with my aunt and grandma (on my dad’s side) and she said that somehow they got on the topic of marriage and my grandma said “I hope that Rey finds and excellent man- or, woman?- I don’t know, but you know what I mean.” My dad’s side of the family is just awkward around the subject but they’re trying their best to be supportive :D

I don't even know how I'll tell my family I'm non- binary and i wanna go by Brynn 😭

My grandma just asked what non binary meant when I told her, and then how I knew about it. Then we never spoke of it again

I wish i had parents that supported my choice *but i was forced out of my choices*

I have a bigoted uncle paul too 💀

I never came out to my grandparents

I used to go by Charlotte too but now I am Carl lol

Charlie is a cool name. I know two Charlies, ones a cis man ones a cis woman (or was when I was still in contact). It works for male, female, neither or both 🙂

I once told my grandma I wasnt a girl in a middle of a breakdown about something else she told me yes you are a girl and you'll always will be etc. And while my aunts refuses to use they/them pronouns or think its ridiculous and my nana gets upset seeing more gay rep on tv thinking we are being to much....yet I wonder why I dont come out

'Ofcourse. Whi doesn't love family drama?' Yes 😈

OMG THIS IS LITERALLY ME I’m non binary and was born as charlotte going by Charlie 🤭

I’m never telling my dad or my grandma I’m bi because they are SUPER homophobic especially my grandma🤠

“Of course who doesn’t love a little family drama?” SAME

Oml. This is literally my situation. Same deadname even.

Yeah i would be riled up too

If my nan found out: Wtf r you on about. God kids these days there beibg brainwashed

My grandparents (dad’s side) know to call me Eli bc that’s what my parents call me, my full chosen name is Elijah, but they don’t seem to realise that my pronouns have changed too 😅 so I have to deal with misgendering whenever I talk to them over FaceTime or if they come over to visit me and my dad. They came over for my half term about two months ago and I actually cried when I was in bed bc of the misgendering. Deadnaming is alright, my boyfriend’s sister makes that mistake, but I’m not really affected by deadnaming, just misgendering makes me pretty upset

My gran was there when I picked up my first t prescription, and was also the first person to call me Toby. Honestly, I didn't expect her to be the most supportive person in my family, but I'm happy that my expectations were wrong

My alter ego is Charlotte My real name is Charlie I feel personally attacked

Charlie! I love that name. I've been trying to choose a name for myself and I like that one.

This is so sad. I'm in multiple trans men groups and there are lots of posts about trans men coming out to their grandma and their grandma saying "you're not a boy, you're just confused, you are a girl and you will always be my grand daughter"

When my mom told my grandma she said she need to sit down and get some wine

You all inspire me so much. I’m 22 and autistic, pansexual, with severe anxiety living with my parents and despite my pain, I simply can’t bring myself to stand up for myself and what I believe in in front of them. You’re all so much stronger than I am.

My grandparents know.. but they kinda just think it’s like a preference? Like Christmas presents they deadname me etc tbf I hardly think I’ve heard them call me cody? My family is kinda supportive like they aren’t mean but aren’t supportive if u get me? But my grandparents on my moms side don’t do well. My grandad on my dads side is good with my name not my pronouns My aunt on my moms side is bad but my cousins on that side are good my littlest cousin is 7 and she’s always like ‘CODY I WANNA SIT BY CODY’ the second she sees me 🥺 And then my aunt on my dads side is fine with my name to my face but behind my back it’s not the best and then the cousins they don’t understand because I get called one name to my face and one behind my back? And one of my cousins is very rude, I don’t think he means to but like I took him to the boys toilet since I wasn’t going to the toilet and I can pass so I stood there while he did his buisness but he was like ‘YOUR A GILR’ ‘YOU CANT GO IN THERE’ and then at random moment when we’re with people and I’m trying to pass he’s like ‘you’ll never be a real boy’ and then when we went skiing once they asked our names I said cody since that’s what my mom signed me in with but he goes ‘AcCuALlY HeR nAmE uSeD tO bE _____’

You used my actual name in this and it made me laugh inside! I love your supportive videos and they always brighten my day.

I only told my grandmother (dad's side) about my sexuality, to which she responded "I won't let what I believe (religion) get in the way of my family." I am I think what is called Genderfluid I usually just switch between she/her and he/him but usually dislike being seen as a girl (born female). My dad doesn't believe in it when I told him so he wasn't going to start saying he instead of she, same with my mom. My other grandmother (mom's side) I'm not so sure. I get when it's hard to adjust to but my parents just flat out did not want to try

Damn wish this was my mom’s side of the family

Ok but this mom is actually sweet

I go by that too. Same name. My family is super supportive

This works so well for me cause I’m trans and going by Charlie lmao

My grandmother just thinks my a lesbian.🤣

Holy shit, you and your mom could be twins!!!

Charlie is actually a nice name, I like it !

Stimming stupidity because I change my name recently to Charlie and it bring me so much joy !!!

My family has drama in the form of alcoholism, adultery, custody battles, and sewer slide.
