Tbh, I don’t see how gender identity can be benign in a world where we still see so much discrimination and hatred against such ideas, but I am glad it was in this persons household. Though even then, I am not sure if it’s truly ever “benign”, it’s part of one’s self actualization and therefore meaningful and impactful for the person experiencing it

    “Parent” works in formal settings, but it would be weird to have your kid call you that. Maybe just your name?

      Why go with “parent” when the combination of “Mom” and “dad” gives you “mod”, “mad”, “dam” and “dom”?

        I don’t think a kid calling their parent their “dom” would go over well 💀💀💀

        I’m binary and I could go by mad several times per day, depending on how frustrated I get with them lol
