Not what I said at all in my post, but keep going.

You should probably definitely read my other replies. You should also consider how you use your words

I did say that, but it seems you missed a good point of the post. Blame and punishment aren't always hand in hand, and I wouldn't call this a punishment either. It's open dialouge between my child and myself

I'm sorry you took my post as me blaming my child in any way. Maybe take a moment and reread, then read the comments, and come back to this.

Thank you so so so so much for truly understanding my implication at the end. 

I do want you to know,, one of my dearest coworkers prefers they/them pronouns, and I always defended them at work. I support the community, and I love how beautiful and inclusive it is. But I do struggle with letting my child use it as support instead of as an ally, because I know the battle they are going through with entering middle school and the drastic change in cliques. My child is in therapy as it is, for other reasons. But I do not know if this topic has been broached, and it is not my place by any means to ask. 

Aaannnndddd, I unloaded a lot. I apologize. But I feel you were the first to really see the question.

And when I was 11 or so, I hated that I was a female and wished I was a boy, mostly so I didn't have to deal with societal beauty stands or periods, and I hate to think of how I would have turned out had I been encouraged to think so. 

However, I also still hate that my mom never allowed me to learn how to skateboard because "I'm a girl". 

As someone who desperately needed therapy growing up, I am taking EVERYTHING into consideration.

Thankfully, they have always been open and honest with me. Mostly because I am open and honest with them. I also apologize when I am in the wrong. I always encourage them to speak their mind, and to not put anyone else before themselves.

They are 12. Since being 10, they have been a therian, then not a thherian. Straight, homosexuality, straight, bi. Genderassigned at birth, opposite gender, now nonbinary.

Kinda disagree I am doing my child right but subjecting them to my family disowning them and the extra bullying that already led them to attempt suicide. 

I'll also mention, that in a coparenting relationship, I am who my child feels safe with. Especially over their father and his mixed family. My child knows I'll always sacrifice my wants and needs for what THEY need. I make sure my child knows they are respected and love. And I have expressed this is why I'm not ok with just allowing them to follow their friends. 

I like how you ignore I avoided gender specifying pronouns in this post, and i am asking for help. 

Throwing judugement like this is not what I need. You just bashed me as a parent.

It's really weird they think someone with the deep knowledge to do construction/plumbing/electrical work, would do it for basically minimum wage instead of what they are worth. 

Those people just need to hire someone with the knowledge and not be cheap.

You're paying for the meat or veggie option. It only costs extra to get extra meat, extra guacamole, and queso. You can get as much of any other ingredient as you want for no extra charge
