I'm coining a new word: ANBO

[momta]

TLDR: It's an acronym for "Adult Non-Binary Offspring".

I have an anbo. They are neither male nor female, neither are they a child. So none of the words I would otherwise use to describe them work, which tends to either force me to misgender them, and/or call them a "child" when they are 25 years old.

I have a friend who also has an anbo, and she recently asked me how to refer to them, considering they are not a "child," nor a "daughter," nor a "son." It makes for long, complicated conversations with people who either don't understand what it means to be non-binary, or want to engage in some rancorous conversation that I don't have time for. (Pretty sure a new word isn't going to fix this, but it might speed up the process a little, and help me get it over with faster.)

So...new word: ANBO

You're welcome
