Growing up, I was always told that boys could come over if I leave the bedroom door open, and I see a lot with my friends that the girls would not be allowed to have boys over/in the bedroom/have the bedroom door closed or viceversa (boys with girls).

When I realized I may be gay and trans (masc), my parents were accepting and allowed me to have the door closed with girls because I was gay and still not with boys.

Then, I had a boyfriend and they said I could keep the door closed with anyone except my boyfriend.

Now, I’m nonbinary and bisexual. Would you allow your kids to close the door?

    It’s not exactly relevant to the original question, but is to your response … My mom always told me “don’t do drugs, but if you do, do them with me so I can make sure you’re doing them right.”

    Was that her policy on sex too?

    Edit: a lot of people without a sense of humor in this thread.

      No, but she did once tell me about a woman’s perspective on losing virginity, then laugh and say “now the first time you have sex you’ll think about what I said!”

      I didn’t, though.
