I (39F) have a “daughter” (15 masc, 15M?) who I guess is now my son. He identifies as masc, which I guess is masculine? So I guess I will use he/him pronouns. And he prefers to be called James or Jimmy. Jimmy has talked about wanting to be a boy before, but he has been very vocal about it as of recent and at first I was just thinking it was a tomboy situation but now that he identifies as masc, I was thinking of how I can support Jimmy and get used to it.

You are well on the way. Using his proper name and pronouns and trusting him.

Don't out him to anybody that he hasn't said is OK. It's his story to tell and he gets to decide who is safe.

If you're in a red state, it may be necessary to hide this from his doctor, school, busybody neighbors, which sucks.
