Non binary rant

Hi,
Please excuse me but i need a rant. So am leaving this here...
My daughter just told me that they are non binary. As far as they are concerned I am on board and supportive. Because being a good mum is the most important thing to me. But (shh) nope, I’m hating society right now. We are living in a time when in some places women are being outlawed to have abortions. Girls hate the idea of being a girl so much that they create a non existent category for themselves but men call themselves women and compete in our sports. Fucking fed up with it all. Who’s turning back the clocks? We were better off when we were the kids.
Right rant over..

"Being a good mum" isn't pandering to this nonsense.

It's this generation's version of tomboy/"not like the other girls". Just don't let her go the medical route to "neutralise" her body, and she'll grow out of it in a few years.

It's collaborating with the patriarchy. The concept relies on and entrenches their definition of a woman/female not as an 'adult human female' but instead as a collection of regressive social stereotypes, submissive, objectified, frilly, silly. It also implies that all those women and girls who choose not to 'identify out' of being a woman, as the NB and alphabet folx now define it, are therefore OK with that conservatively-envisioned social role, the objectifying male gaze, the upskirting, the groping hands.

I hear you. So much utter bullshit all around us. EVERYONE is non binary, it's nothing special. I hope that this phase passes smoothly for your daughter.

It must be very hard to go along with. She may well grow out of it in time, it's a largely meaningless label for many of these teenagers Flowers you can always discuss this here.
