Growing up, I was always told that boys could come over if I leave the bedroom door open, and I see a lot with my friends that the girls would not be allowed to have boys over/in the bedroom/have the bedroom door closed or viceversa (boys with girls).

When I realized I may be gay and trans (masc), my parents were accepting and allowed me to have the door closed with girls because I was gay and still not with boys.

Then, I had a boyfriend and they said I could keep the door closed with anyone except my boyfriend.

Now, I’m nonbinary and bisexual. Would you allow your kids to close the door?

    No. You can shut the door all you want, but it’s my house and you know the rules, so I can pop in the room at any time. I’ll knock and be opening the door a second or two later. There’s nothing you should be doing that would be an issue if I came in, unless you’re breaking the rules.

    Depends on age, of course. If you’re 17, 18, whatever, I’d trust my kid enough to not being silly and would give them the responsibility.
