[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD (14) is named Sharon, because DH and I felt that was a hip and beautiful name. However, she's now saying that it's a "middle-aged white woman name" (keep in mind that she is white) and demanding that we call her "Cherry". She's already got her friends to call her Cherry and plans to start high school introducing herself to classmates and teachers as Cherry. I'm not a fan. In addition to the inappropriate associations that cherries can have, Sharon is her name. It's a wonderful, lovely name, and now she's saying that she wants to be called a piece of fruit? I don't get it. WWYD?[/quote]

Some young teens say they are gay. Some say they are trans. Some say they are pan. Some say they are really cats and want to use a litter box at school (ok, that isn’t a real thing, but you get the idea. Some ask to be called by a different name and deliberately choose one they suspect will irk you.

You can overreact or you can not die on these hills. Choose wisely.[/quote]

Homophobia and transphobia are NOT acceptable. Shame on you[/quote]
