For people who identify as any rendition of gendequeer

I am gender_fluid, but
the majority of the time I feel mostly female.
I am not in a relationship nor do I have children
but if I ever do I suppose I will have to think about this.

I am the kind of person who nicknames people that I like or am close to,
so I would most likely teach my children to give us nicknames if I ever have kids.

For example I call my mom, lil-hername, and my dad, big-hisname.
my dad even uses his nickname as his dj alias. lol

 

I have a friend that just has their daughter call them by their first name (which is pretty gender neutral).

 

I've been wondering this for a few months, because I have two kids. Only my oldest can really talk, so she calls me mommy. That's how she's always known me, so I just deal with it. Even though I feel male most of the time and am even thinking of transitioning, I don't feel like confusing her.

 

I'd be fine with 'dad', but then again, I'm male leaning. Calling me Alex would be fine too, I suppose.

 

I'm fine with them using my first name. Or parent, if they're referring to me when talking to someone else.

I'm not certain what I'd want to be called. My friends have their daughter call me "Uncle *insert somewhat gender-neutral shortened first name*" Sometimes that makes me a little uneasy, but I'm not certain if it's because I'm genderfluid, and often feel more feminine (I'm just not out to them or anyone else yet) or if it's because I'm not related to them by blood OR affinity...

 

Im not gender queer, but maybe inventing a new word could work... For those who use pronouns like zer or hir maybe we could take the consonant that is right in the middle of D and M, with the vocal in the middle of A and O, and the result would be Jed... And for the diminutive Jedi .. (At least star war fans will be happy with that :lol: )

Althought maybe Jed doesnt sounds entirely gender neutral... :/

 

If I had a child I would want him to call me dad. Idk why. I'm not ftm or genderqueer or anything though.

 

I just realized, this XKCD strip is definitely applicable to this discussion: https://xkcd.com/927/

 

I don't think there is a "standard" response to this. I have a friend who is called "Baba" by hir children. It seems to work well for that particular family. But it poses the problem that must people are not in the know about what a "baba" is and therefore a certain measure of constant explaining is required.

 

You know, I'm biologically the father of 4 children. They call me Daddy. That's who I am to them. If they come up with something else later on to call me, I'll go with it then.

 

Good question!
Maybe just my name, but dad could also be fine if that's what my kid(s) end up calling me.
Wish there was a widely used gender neutral one though...

 

I personally don't mind either way. They could call me whatever respectful title they want. I mostly feel feminine, so it's more likely that they'll call me mommy, but it doesn't matter. I don't know how I feel about them using my first name, though.

 

The only reason I wouldn't want them to call me by my first name, because of how I was raised and where I was raised. Calling a parent by their first name has always been a sign of disrespect for me. Or any adult. I was raised to address people as Ms or Mr So-and-so and I still address a family friend that is practically like an aunt to me as Ms. So-and-so.

 

Absolutely dad or father but the last one seems too formal?
