I'm so sorry. My gen X parents were equal to boomers in the tech dept. So I got away with so much when it came to electronics.

It also meant we had tech long before anyone else, and you just went over to our friend's houses to do shit. It probably kept us alive, because as an Xer, most of my childhood friends are gone due to the stuff they got into. And you just learned the dead zones if wanted to get out.

Lol its like the opposite issues I faced, though I do have regrets about introsucing them to the internet. They fell down the right wing chriatofascist pipeline 😓

Dad is as liberal as it comes. I tried/failed to block MSNBC bc Maddow riled him up so bad. It lasted 2 days and he's still mad I thought it would work. As a GenXer, we're some of the worst due to our shitty schooling/neglect, so don't feel too bad about the intro. They would have found it anyway.

You're likely right, but still, its really on another level when it jusy so happens I represent nearly everything they hate about the liberal left.

They feel that way because the first 2 are genetic and they know on some level at least one side of the family is representing. My dad's aunt was a nun, my aunt was a Bulldyke, and my sister is a divorced lesbian w a kid All three are the same gene makeup, just different societies.

I suspect my mom is. She's let it slip once or twice when the gender topic came up, how she had wished she was a boy when she was younger. Not something I've seen with cis folks TBH.

Most girls of our gen wanted to be a boy at some point bc it meant being allowed to do the fun stuff. But wanting to be treated like the boys/feeling like you are in the wrong body are different things. You are probably right, which means the resentment about your freedom is deep/justified.

Imagine being stuck in your birth body and going through the motions for decades and then your kid just suddenly decides Nope, not for me, I want to be happy. All your life choices look like shit and you are miserable for no reason.

Yeah. I can kinda see that. And living with a cis hetro guy makes it even more complicated.

The more I learn in general, the more it seems to be just a case of (I wasn't allowed to do this so neither should you be allowed.)
