Allowing a trans friend to spend the night with my teenager....

I agree. Ultimately, OP, it’s up to you. Whatever anyone else thinks, this is your decision and you don’t have to justify it to anyone else.

If you, your daughter, her friend, and his parents are comfortable with the arrangement, I would just continue as you have been. There is no need to tell your extended family the specific sleeping arrangements.

The fact that the friend is male.

They know the rules, no locking the door to the room (it can be closed) and no S*x.... witch I know they don't see each other that way.

So do they know that this friend has a vagina?

Not my place to tell them. That up to the friend.

I don't think I should have to explain things to people when all that matters is I know the truth.

And you shouldn't have to. I was just trying to figure out if it was the risk of pregnancy, the fact the kid is transgender or just sleepovers in general, since your post was about allowing a transgender friend to stay the night and not just a friend. If their issue is the fact that he's male then that's a legitimate concern for a lot of people because pregnancy's can happen and the general assumption is that males have penises.

Why are they stopping by to turn on your swamp cooler?

Might be the first time of the season - they have to be uncovered and prepped for the year where I live (Colorado). That means getting up on the roof, and if I could have some young strong relative of mine do it, I would!

Swamp cooler is all I got from this lol.

Swamp coolers are the best. My electric bill is never over $85 and I keep my house at 65

We have central air and heating in this house but have lived in homes with a swamp cooler and loved it.

Unfortunately once our summer monsoon season hits and the dew point goes up, the swamp cooler stopped working well.

Because I don't want to climb on the roof. So my dad and brother (And mom because she wanted to visit) came over to climb on my roof and get it going for the summer.

Dh’s mom had gifted us our first home which was the home they’d lived in until his dad passed. His dad did HVAC so the house had both. It was nice.

It depends if they’ve entered into a romantic relationship or not. But in general the kids don’t sleep together. I would feel weird about someone identifying as male with my hypothetical daughter. He can sleep elsewhere. But if it works for you that’s fine. I’m just saying how i feel
