My 15 year old daughter suddenly came out as non-binary about a month ago. She was always a feminine girl, with no interest in "typically boyish" activities or things. She still isn't interested in "typical boyish" things. Now, she says she isn't a girl, but doesn't want to be a boy. She still wears make-up and dresses and skirts most of the time, but every so often she'll put on a baggy shirt and boy's shorts. It just doesn't make any sense. She wants everyone to call her they/them and she wants to bind her breasts (I said no to binding). She never told me she had any issues with her body until a month ago, but she says she has felt like this for a couple of years? I feel lost on how to deal with this, there was never any warning. She has self-diagnosed from watching videos on youtube and reading on Tumblr.
