So it's Nonbinary Parents Day
First off, all the best to every parent reading this who feels like part of the non-binary community, whether or not anybody knows except for yourself (or maybe even you are doubting).
To me, non-binary parenting is defined by openness. I don't have a defined role in a binary gender system myself. There is no defined path I could follow. (I've tried some and they didn't work.)
So I'm constantly exploring, tentatively advancing and asking myself with every step if the path that is emerging still feels like me.
I try to give our child the same liberty, allowing them to explore with as few gendered boundaries as possible. (We still live in a binary society.) I hope that this will give them the chance to find a place that feels right for them, within or outside the gender binary. And each day I can't wait to see what they do next.
