My wife is bisexual and nonbinary, and my daughter is transgender. My queer family helped me better understand myself and my masculinity.

First, my daughter came out as transgender; then my bisexual wife came out as nonbinary. As the only nonqueer person in the family, I often feel left out by their shared experience. But my queer family has taught me a lot about myself and how masculinity can be less restrictive.

My 19-year-old daughter last month invited her mother to see the queer comedian Chris Fleming. My wife was thrilled. Our daughter still lives with us, but she often communicates in brief grunts as she scurries down to her basement lair, emerging only to let in friends and forage for chicken nuggets. She doesn't often include us in her social plans.

"You are hip and happening with the kids," I told my wife. She rolled her eyes, but I could tell she was pleased.

I was not invited on this excursion because I wasn't a fan of Fleming. My wife has tried to explain his appeal: "He's so funny!"

My wife and daughter's love for Fleming is rooted in another commonality: They're both queer.

My daughter is transgender, and my wife is bisexual and nonbinary. As the boring cisgender, straight guy in the family, I just don't get some aspects of queer culture. I try to take an interest, but your demographic destiny sometimes rears up and says, "Pfft."

But I'm grateful to be outnumbered in my family by the other demographics. When you share a family with queer people, your understanding of love becomes more expansive, as does your understanding of yourself.

My wife is a resource for our daughter

Our daughter came out as bisexual in middle school. In high school, she reassessed and came out as trans and lesbian.

A likely scenario would be the wife giving off all sorts of danger signs even during the first one or two dates. If you are a smart man, you can easily see them without being anywhere remotely oversensitive or paranoid.

You are a simp and a cuck. There is a time to decline from tossing pearls before swine.

Progressives always seem to be going backwards. Most are cave dwellers living in their parents’ dark and damp basements sitting there staring at a cell phone like a pig staring at a wrist watch.

So this moron meets an admitted bisexual non-binary woman(?) and voluntarily marries her? Needs. Head. Examined.
