OK, having adjusted to DD14 saying she's pansexual (not totally sure if I fully understand it, but she's still her and I'm not fussed) she now has a number of LBGT friends and those that I've met seem nice enough. However, I'm a bit conflicted between the age-old binary response of parent to opposite-sex-sleepover and what the situation is re:
a) gender-fluid, but acting as boy (rising 17)
b) definitely a boy, just looks like a girl (bad luck for him: he's 15) and so far is still in the "sex is icky" camp
c) girl, but thinks she should be a boy (rising 14)
I've had c) over before for sleepovers: dunno if that was right, but it felt ok at the time. a) and b) are newcomers. Slightly baffled: it's not exactly that I think they'll be up to no good, simply that it would have been out of the question when I was younger and I'm struggling to tell the difference iyswim....sorry if this question isn't well-worded: I'm just very confused and would like to hear a few views.
