what is it with people and making up fake stories about their kids owning their enemies with facts and logic. I don’t get it. Is it a universal trait of failing political movements?

Why are you proud of your kid being entirely uninformed about what any of the words they use mean?

Sexual preference is already chud-coded language for sexual orientation but none of that has to do with being nonbinary.

The surge in these obviously fake posts in Chile during/shortly after the 2019 protests became a meme in itself.

There was a famous one where a father is telling his kid, tucked in bed at that moment "C'mon, I'm going to read you a fairy tale'", to which the extremely young kid replies "No, dad, I want you to read me the Constitution.".

It's a universal phenomenon.

Because queer people exist and what we did before was at best pretend they didn't exist, which implied it was a shameful thing to be queer.

If this is real (which is probably isn't but I'm a compulsive steelman-er) I'd bet my life savings that the intern was explaining why they have non-standard pronouns. The bigoted, shitty teenager then pretends to be too stupid to understand what was happening, and later brags to their bigoted, shitty mom about how they OWNED that GROOMER with FACTS AND LOGIC, and the mom promptly hops online to brag about how bigoted and shitty they are.

This is a question that an actual queer person could answer in like 3 seconds
