A trans parent would likely still want to be called “Mom” or “Dad”, I assume. At least that’s the case with the few trans parents I know.

Parents don’t usually use “daughter” or “son” as pronouns, so I don’t think it would come up with non-binary children.

Do children of non-binary parents call their parents by their first name? It seems unlikely that they say “Parent, may I please have more screen time?”.

        The existence of the term “biological dad” implies the existence of an “artificial dad”

              In which context? They’re probably MFers too. If you mean artificial or biological… Could be either, but let’s go with 3rd party replacements.

            I don’t think that’s really true.

            Dad is a title, bestowed by anyone for any reason.

            “Biological dad” may have a specific meaning, but “dad” does not.

              It was a joke to begin with, and I’m just trying to run with it. Don’t overthink it :)

      I don’t know how I missed this. Obviously you have the correct answer!

      I mean, that can be misunderstood. Better to mix mom and dad into … “dom” … or why not “mad”?
