Nixie Smith-McKrill (he/him)

“Around 4, he only wanted to wear boy's clothes, so I asked, ‘Do you want to be called a boy?’ and the answer was yes and he wanted to use he/him pronouns,” said Nixie’s mother, Kim Smith. “His world view is that people thought he was a girl when he was born, but they were wrong and that just happens sometimes. …

“Nixie wanted a haircut but was nervous about getting it because he hadn’t gotten it cut (short) before. After he got it cut around Thanksgiving 2020, he was so excited and loved it. Nixie then asked me to tell the preschool teachers to call him a boy and use he/him pronouns.”
