They Can’t Mask How Much They Love YouNOT MY STORY
This was during the global health crisis. I was (and still am) living with my grandparents, and due to life difficulties that are outside the scope of this story, dependent on them. I had come out to them as nonbinary a year before, and though it confused them, it was never in a way they refused to accept.
No better was this shown than during this story.
I’m a walking bane to chargers and earbuds and am regularly forced to ask my grandparents to buy me more. I don’t know why; I’m not even rough with them! But anyway, after I asked for one, I popped into their Amazon account just to see how long it would take to arrive.
What I saw in addition was a mask. It was not just any mask; it had “THEY / THEM” emblazoned proudly on the front, in the colors of the nonbinary flag.
I hadn’t asked for it. They had meant to surprise me with this.
I broke the news that I’d found out when I got it, and they were a little disappointed, but I wore it everywhere while masks were still necessary.
If you take any moral away from this story, it’s that anyone can be accepting of identities — even grandparents who are over seventy years old.
