I Hate Watching My Smart, Articulate Friends Transform Into “Mommy” and “Daddy”

Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. And the kids—babies, young toddlers, definitely kids who are too young to say “trick or treat”—don’t know WTF is going on. So for starters, you’ll need to make a concerted effort to decouple your sense of where he “should be” now from your sense of where his best friend is, presumably. But it’s hard to call someone by a new name and pronouns when they’ve been “Priya” and “she/her” for 13 years. We work from home and get groceries delivered so we haven’t seen anyone in two months.” But when I did “come by,” it was a different story.
