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.

Don’t blame a teacher. That child never had a chance.

Was the daughter at that point a guy and then when in high school decided to become a woman. I am not sure of what is going in this guy’s family.

“My queer family helped me better understand myself and my masculinity.”

sounds like he figured out he wasn’t ACTUALLY masculine after all ... just another Beta ...

My guess is most of the alphas live in Isreal. I can’t see this “thing” defending his family and town from raghead terrorists.

He appears to be a secular, leftist, non observant NYC type Jew. These people have caused other Jews untold trouble as the gentiles tend to think Jews in general are like Micky Wienstein and go around with a big chip on their shoulder and want to ‘punish the goys’.

There's not one set of balls in the entire household. I wonder if the wife and daughter get it on in front of him?

“...daughter came out as bisexual in middle school...”

In other words, was born a male and was at that point on the way to full transfantasy.

Be nice if daughter was Jewish, in order for scriptural truth to more profoundly affect her...

It's just that, reading between the lines, his "daughter" was originally his son.
