My sincerest if I found the wrong tree to bark up.

I, and many, many of my peers are related to conservative persons who would call themselves parents. That use our existence to further conversations in their favor to the best of their neurotic abilities. It is a trope within the community.

Edit: Even going so far as to use the pronoun in relation to your kin. Disingenuous actors use language in a fashion to bait and trap issues like its a game. And some of us are at real risk.
