All the eyerolls 🙄 they/them 'not Daddy!'

[lcakethereforeIam]

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!'

How utterly novel and groundbreaking.

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.

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

Because it’s all about him

Again 🥱

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...

"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!

"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"

What an attention seeking bellend.

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

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 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.

'I was unemployed, bored, and had my parents doing everything for me so I spent way too much time online to fill my days - but it's my real self, honest!'

Get a grip you massive narcissist!

No septum piercing. Sad times 😥

I think this is perhaps the result of a child-centred upbringing where, additionally, the child must never be told "no" of that they might be wrong. Solipsism plus unwavering certainty in the importance and truth of whatever nonsense you come up with.

Why would any woman let they/them impregnate her, that’s the last thing you need when you’ve got a new baby!

I have little sympathy for the "allies". You reap what you sow. It's the child who is to be pitied, growing up with a narc parent.

In ante natal classes they explained that midwife care is woman centered, and the role of the birthing partner is to support the woman giving birth. Do they not do that bit any more?

"Any discussion around correctly gendered parent names could wait until my babies had been safely delivered and my partner was okay.

So, despite the inevitability, when the neonatal medic called me ‘daddy’ for the first time, it took me by surprise.

Part of me wanted to correct her, but I was far too sleep deprived and my focus was on stepping into my role as parent and looking after my babies. "

It sounds like he's just about clinging to reality by his fingertips. Well done Tom in realising it's not all about you! Keep going!

AI answer to use of title midwife
😳

can you imagine in the throws of giving birth you’d have to shout
i need the lead perinatal practitioner 🤣🤣🤣

Well if he's not the daddy, that's a conversation he needs to have with the mother.....

Fucking hell that is hilarious. What a nob

There weren't even NHS antenatal classes for me 20 years ago because the men "didn't like the breathing exercises" according to my midwife.

Nct classes at the time were wonderful.

Just thinking of the child when they grow up -
" mummy and theyday, tell me about the day I was born"...
" Well your mum was having back to back unmedicated contractions...but I was called SIR!!!. was just awful!!""

Self indulgent nonsense

Did he not feel special enough growing up and now needs the pronouns to validate himself?

Tosser.
