What nurses have to put up with. His poor wife (although that word's not used*), his poor kids

I'm a non-binary parent but have had to accept being called 'Daddy' | Metro News https://share.google/CdGfmxVnizOeyxBbe

Admittedly, when we arrived at the delivery suite on Tuesday night I did tell the lead midwife that my pronouns are they/them

Of course he did.

The whole article is worth a read, simultaneously hilarious, jawdropping and troubling. I thought he could put it on stage at the next Fringe, it'd bring the house down. It's hard to believe it wasn't ghost written by Glinner as a pisstake.

*hopefully they're not married °so leaving this self obsessed bloke will be easier.

°how would that go anyway? 'I now pronoun you wife and....erm!'

I'm a non-binary parent but have had to accept being called 'Daddy'

I wish that society could be more inclusive towards trans and non-binary folks especially as it pertains to parenthood.

I loved the bit where he'd lost his job, goes home to sponge off his parents and rides the wave of what everyone else is doing. Straight man, in a straight relationship, wtf do the LGB want with him? He's barely T! He says he's 'agender' (has he thought about getting his kids to call him 'chairperson?) According to many tras, GC are also 'agender' but I don't feel that he and I have much in common.

"Many institutions still assume they will be dealing with a woman as the mother and a man as the father, with no room for grey areas"

It's almost like these institutions believe you need a penis to be a father and a uterus to be a mother.

Shocking stuff!

I read it and just wondered why he does not seem to be profoundly embarrassed at writing such tosh.

What an attention seeking bellend.

"I realised I was non-binary and came out in early 2017, at the start of a wave of lots of other people realising the same thing. I was 25 and had a brief period of unemployment, living back at home with my parents, which gave me time to be introspective and figure out who I was"

He has pink hair you know!

Just at the point where there is a beautiful opportunity to show that it isn't all about you, but in fact about the little life you have helped create...

DrPrunesqualer · 26/08/2025 11:45

Because it’s all about him

Again 🥱

Illustrated with a nearly perfect picture of him. The hair ✔️ just needed a slight addition...there!

Well, we can tell he's male by the sheer solipsism. No mother would have all that time for such tedious wanking over their identity.

How utterly novel and groundbreaking.
