I have a wonderful son, and he has a wonderful girlfriend who calls herself 'him'.

We had what I thought was a great conversation about performative femininity and there are many ways to be a woman.

But I don't think we did.

Good for you.

What other ways are there to be a woman apart from the requirement of a vagina?

How old is your son and his gf?

Just ignore it. It will go away eventually once the brain matures. Just think back to all the embarrassing things you did as a young person and how you cringe at them now!! This is no different.

Hopefully she'll grow out of it soon enough and, if not, your son will

So does your son describe himself as gay?

im fully GC but I’d just not mention any of it and use the preferred pronouns and ignore the weirdness.

Tedious, isn’t it?

So are you going to use pronouns that the partner doesn't want you to? Will you keep bringing up the topic with your son as well?

Are you asking for advice?
