[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything gender is big now. Being trans or pan or cis or something gendered or non gendered. The list of options for gender grows all the time.

Now there are two more orientations being talked about...who you are attracted to and who you can fall in love with.

So you can be  asexual, transgender bi-romantic teen[/quote]

So, if your 15 year old comes out as a genderqueer pansexual is a parent's only option to keep their mouth shut and not tell the kid how loony this is?

Ya'll need to stop clutching your pearls.  For.real.  These are regular, envelope-pushing teens.  It's this decade's (or year's) way of damning the man.  Let them at it.  Your parents probably felt the same way when you tried to wear a lace bra a la Madonna and nothing else.  Take a deep breath, realize it's a phase, and yes, just keep your mouth shut.  Just do you and provide the regular support and love for your family!  If in 10 years they're still at it, accept it's their reality and since you've been dealing with it for 10 years already, no big deal now! [/quote]

This has been our strategy. But I am conflicted how to handle sleepovers. If our DD might be bi-sexual, as she has told us she is trying to determine, then same sex sleepovers would be a no go. So far she has only gone to a couple of sleepovers with groups of kids we know well, but we might need to say no to 1 on 1 sleepovers with close friends.[/quote]

Gee, mom. Why crack down on the parenting rules now? [/quote]
