Navigating My Daughter’s Journey as a Therian: A Parent’s Reflection

When my daughter first told me she identifies as a therian, I’ll admit I was caught off guard. I had never heard the term before, and it opened up a whole new world of questions and emotions for both of us. As a parent, my first instinct was to listen and try to understand her experience without judgment. We’ve had long talks about what being a therian means to her, and I’m learning to support her in ways that honor her feelings and identity. It’s not always easy, but I’m grateful for the trust she places in me. Has anyone else navigated something similar with their child? I’d love to hear your stories or advice.
