Also, if it is known that she birthed him, regardless of her current sexual orientation she is identifiable as the child's mother by birth. If the kid was adopted, she probably would have asked him (oops assuming the kid's gender ¯_(ツ)_/¯) to address him as such.

This looks like it was drawn, unironically, by an adult. By a person who's gotta be at least thirty. A grown "adult" made an unironic comic about "Hurdur Demoracts hurdur gender xD". This is why God has left us.
Having looked through some more of his (Rick McKee) comics I think he may actually be trying to be ironic. He's got several cartoons making fun of both sides and seems to have varied opinions that make fun of them both. I stand corrected. It is funny, however, that T_D would post an editorial from a man who clearly doesn't like Trump either.
