we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.

That'd be great, if they actually had those conversations and explained things. Mine certainly didn't.

OK, I'm gonna piggy back off of this and put a question out there for y'all.

My (cishet) parents have always been really libbed up. And their approach to anything about queerness when I was growing up was to... Literally never mention it, or acknowledge it as a possible way of being, because "We didn't want to force anything on you! We just let you be who you were gonna be :)"

And are still baffled that their hands-off, silent, approach led me to struggle with my queerness so heavily as a teenager.

To my fellow queer Hexbears, did anyone else's lib parents do this? Is this a lib thing? A generational thing? A cishet thing?

My parents are conservatives. My mom took us to LGBT family events growing up, made sure never to assume we were straight, etc. Seemed like what should be the neutral position. But my parents are lesbians.

There was never any information about being trans. But like of course she didn't teach us anything about such - she doesn't really seem to believe in gender that much and is a bit transphobic.
