Recently, my child was discharged from hospital after a three night stay. We presented at emergency and were admitted from there. My child is transgender and nonbinary so anything involving new people and bureaucracy sets off our alarm bells, some people are not accepting. But my child's nurse, and multiple people on their care team, took me aside to ask me to clarify their chosen name and pronouns so that they could get it right. This was a huge relief and made my child feel respected and heard.
