Not exactly a self help book but it’s good at explaining things
Coming in June 2018. Preorder yours because it's the current year!
You could say that you came out two summers ago and you feel like they're trying to ignore you whenever you try to share this part of you. Proper framing helps this sort of stuff so just sort of putting it across as trying to help them understand where you're coming from and not wanting to lose ties to them might help? Alternatively, approaching one before the other and saying that you don't think the other wants to understand you? Might sound a bit manipulative but this sort of thing is basically already gonna be a struggle in trying to get someone to get you.
​
Another option is going to be dropping an article on their lap or sticking something on the telly with a nonbinary character in it that'll help them understand it a bit without it seeming "forced" or giving them a chance to argue about it. If you watch films with your parents or anything, "Upgrade" is a 2018 Science Fiction film with a one scene nonbinary hacker formerly named Jamie and that was a life saver for me as far as something silly and dumb to put on that raised the talking point.
​
A mate of mine recommended THIS ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quick-Easy-Guide-They-Pronouns/dp/1620104997 ) to me. Life saver and a half. My dad borrowed it for a weekend, started making an effort thereafter. Its not the most complex of books but its got the general gist that someone completely new might need.
And maybe avoid the polycule for a bit unless there's a natural opening for it. For some reason the idea of multiple partners seems to spook people more than "I'm not the gender you think I am."
My best advice is make them feel welcome in the community. I’m not really sure how youth groups work but I know many of my friends who are both lgbt and Christian, it can be hard because of people who tell them they cannot be both. Let them know that they are loved and welcome.
As for there being a boys and girls side, I do agree that if at all possible you could remove the gendered sides. If there’s adult supervision in the lock-ins while they’re going to sleep it should be fine. If it’s not possible to remove the sides you can ask them where they’d prefer to sleep, and explain to them that there isn’t much you can do about removing the split sides.
A final thing I’d like to suggest is maybe reading the book “a quick and easy guide to they/them pronouns” it’s a short comic book that helps to explain non gendered pronouns to people who don’t know much about the topic but are willing to learn. It’s only about $8 (link to book)
I’d also like to say I’m glad you’re putting in the effort to make them feel welcome and safe. I’m sure they appreciate it
I got this book for my dad, he said it was really helpful for him to understand how to use pronouns correctly https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Easy-Guide-They-Pronouns/dp/1620104997/ref=nodl_
Sounds like you're the one in the closet, OP, and that sucks. It must be hard for you to hide who you are. Saying you don't want to look like a homo while you're actively dating someone from the LGBTQ+ community is pretty stupid, yeah. You're dating a trans person. On the positive side, you have a chance to be a hero here. You have a chance to be the ally your partner and everyone like them needs. Stay safe and don't out them, but don't talk about your love like it's shameful when it isn't. That doesn't make you cooler. Misgendering for your own comfort does make you kind of a dick.
​
Words you can use to describe them:
"My partner" instead of gf or bf
"They/them/theirs" pronouns if that's what your partner likes best. If they prefer he/him/his and they're public about it, don't stop using those pronouns just to make yourself feel better.
Books for how to explain they/them pronouns to other people:
A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns
Most importantly, DO TALK TO THEM. They deserve to know, and you don't want them finding out later that you misgendered them.
