Two days ago I posted the following on Facebook
"A survey from employers asks 'What is my gender identity' and gives 4 possible answers.
- Male (including female to male transmen)
- Female (including male to female transwomen)
- Non-binary (for example, androgyne)
4)Prefer not to say.
There is no option for me just to state that I am female."
Within minutes I got a Messenger response - including screenshot - of this post from my daughter saying she couldn't see why this was an issue and she'd like to understand at some point.
I messaged back saying yes we could discuss it at some later point and adding a bit of chat. I tried three times to send it and then realised she had blocked me.
Yesterday after I'd emailed her she said that my posting that had made her feel incredibly upset and that she perceived the post as 'bigoted'.
I think I'd find responses from feminist Mumsnetters quite helpful at this point. My daughter has just started her final term at university so it's best if I remain fairly calm about this one. We generally are close and get on well. As I only have a PAYG mobile, messaging each other by FB had worked well as a way of having the odd quick chat. Email feels more distant.
