They added: I’m still, every day, stepping more and more into the identity that feels right to me, which is my pronouns being they/them. People have been so.. well, most people have so wonderful, and that’s the reality of coming out. But I am grateful for the progress that my family members have made in using my pronouns – team members, friends.”
