... went to an all girl's school and then had no relationships with men outside of work and the 3 men she dated. Oh, and her father. She's convinced we're "human beings" and that men and women are no different. Oh, and I wasn't allowed to watch Saved by the Bell because apparently dating is only for "adults." FML.

Sounds like your mother had a lot of trauma.

So trye

I think you should go and read what he said before making yet another asinine post.

You're an idiot

I'm sorry if I came across as insensitive. I thought I could identify with the shame, the guilt trips, the denial, and the disowning. She already told me that she won't attend my future wedding if there is one. I hope my future husband understands. Hey, I heard Roger Ebert couldn't marry until his 50's, after his mom passed away, for similar reasons.

This is the future of children born to parents with “they” pronouns. People need to stop pushing their politics onto their children. I’m not necessarily pushing an old fashioned way of raising children but I have to say, as someone who works with children this can be extremely confusing and damaging to them as they grow up. If they have a vagina, they are a girl. If they have a penis, they are a boy. Let them dress and play how they want but be prepared for them to reach a conclusion on their own as a sexual being. I don’t care how you cut the cake. “They” is plural.

I see that you're trying to cope with your family situation by using sarcasm. But you should really learn to let go, and stop caring. Go live your life the way you want. Maybe therapy could help.

When I was a teenager, my parents wouldn't let me speak to boys or date until I finish my studies and have a job. That had an impact on my relationships with men. Now, in my 30s and still single, my parents are desperately trying to match me with everybody they meet. I told them I wasn't interested. They don't get to dictate my love life.

What you're talking about is "agender". I am 2 generations older than the kids you refer to.
