Wholesome Dad's Wise Response to Non-Binary Child Coming Out

So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think. He said "Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn't work for you anymore, you're not obligated to keep it." and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

A screenshot of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) by user 'nathanielwsninski' sharing a personal story about coming out as non-binary (nb) to their dad. The post details the dad's wise and supportive response, using an analogy that names are gifts—given with hope but not obligatory to keep if they no longer fit. The user shares this heartfelt interaction to potentially uplift or help others facing similar experiences, emphasizing themes of acceptance, identity, and familial support.
