Does anyone have experience with getting the school to agree to not use the “preferred” name and use birth name? We have a 12 year older daughter that just announced last month she is nonbinary after showing NO sign during childhood. She has been in middle school for 5 months and a part of GSA. She has already changed her name at school and we want to undo this for now.
Our position is that we are not rushing to make big changes like name until she has lived in this space for some time. Her friends may call her whatever they like, but in any formal setting she will use her birth name.
How should we approach the school with this? How do we make sure this is being unforced?
Thank you
