[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bear with me. I am obviously behind the times but I need some perspective. My daughter (13) who has been very gender typical until recently (crushes on boys, all-girl friend groups, doesn’t stand out otherwise in terms or dress or tastes) now claims to be either pan sexual or omni sexual. She is reading a lot of LGBTQ literature and spending time on gender bending fan fiction sites, and I can’t help but think some of her sexual attitude is acculturation. Neither her dad or I are super gendered (I am not very girly, he is not very macho) but neither of us has ever been confused about our heterosexuality. For a while we didn’t take her seriously but now that’s she's sticking to her line we are trying to be supportive without boxing her in. Ultimately I don’t care how she gets her kicks but I just want to better understand what is going on. Can you please share your experiences if your kids have been through something similar?[/quote]

Her hormones are on fire. It’s not anything to worry about. At all. [/quote]

Seriously. It’s uncomfortable to think about, but she’s horny and open minded. It’s not about us. What do you need to understand?

I don’t have time to read the previous posts. But imagine it went way way off topic. I hope you received helpful info that is supportive around the debating. And I apologize if my language prematurely sexualizes your child, but hormones are such a big part of this. Even if it’s more intrigue than actual fervor, that’s what lies beneath. Support her and her relationships as you would no matter what. Love is love,  and heartbreak is heartbreak. [/quote]
