A trans parent would likely still want to be called “Mom” or “Dad”, I assume. At least that’s the case with the few trans parents I know.

Parents don’t usually use “daughter” or “son” as pronouns, so I don’t think it would come up with non-binary children.

Do children of non-binary parents call their parents by their first name? It seems unlikely that they say “Parent, may I please have more screen time?”.

        The existence of the term “biological dad” implies the existence of an “artificial dad”

            I don’t think that’s really true.

            Dad is a title, bestowed by anyone for any reason.

            “Biological dad” may have a specific meaning, but “dad” does not.

              It was a joke to begin with, and I’m just trying to run with it. Don’t overthink it :)

              In which context? They’re probably MFers too. If you mean artificial or biological… Could be either, but let’s go with 3rd party replacements.

          I would say that an artificial dad is the partner of a married single mom.

      I don’t know how I missed this. Obviously you have the correct answer!

      I mean, that can be misunderstood. Better to mix mom and dad into … “dom” … or why not “mad”?
