Oh Lordy, a grieving family, mother of my trans sibkid passed, and now there is a fight over the obituary and how to refer to my SIL’s child. They held off including me in the convo, they knew where I’d land, and here we are.
1. Ask the child! They may not even give a shit about a obituary in a printed local newspaper.
2. If they do care: My God, this child just lost their Mother, is a fight over pronouns really what is important here?
Argh.
@LaurelGreen My niece is trans, and when my mother (her grandmother) passed, the obit had my niece's correct name, and she was SO happily stunned when she saw it. Especially after I told her that father told the undertaker her new name for the obit. (He didn't sound comfortable saying it, but he said it.)
