@@HengOngHuatAh no its correct. when you refer to people w/o knowing their gender/pronouns you would say eg. theres a poster about someone who lost *their* dog. *they* must be really worried. its pretty normal but when its conciously used to refer to people whose pronouns are specifically they/them, people tend to think its grammatically wrong and weird just as the other comments say.
@@mairaalisha8443 I would say someone lost his dog. Male pronouns are used by default in the context you raised. They/them is used when referring to a family losing their dog.
Grateful for parents like Christopher uncle. My dad would never. He said in my face before "girls are useless" and he only has eyes for his son. No matter how hard I tried, no use. I'm lucky at least I have my mum. I hope in my next life I get to meet parents with hearts as big as Christopher uncle.
"Girl are useless" Told by a clueless man who born from woman womb I hope you can find happiness in life, because there are many kind of happiness to get, out there
Also Boy CAN be useless too Clueless person thinks : What makes me happy? Why my life have to suffer? Was it victory, was it defeat? In the end, they still doesn't know what makes them happy, because their expectation doesn't match reality.
Girls are useless? Your Dad ought to be ashamed of himself. Even Mao Zedong, a dictator and tyrant in the eyes of many, once famously said :"Women hold up half the sky.", which means: male or female, all genders are equal. I hope that you are living a happy life now. 💖
@@LexicroftAlpha You're right, I always question myself "does he not know that he was born out of a woman?" oh, wait, then I remembered that his mum aka my grandmother is also the type that only feel that boys matter and girls don't, the fact that she managed to give birth to 5 sons. I just try and learn it the tough way, and don't wanna become people like them. I'm glad that the younger generation doesn't follow their footsteps in the same thoughts.
@touchdownbattle Yes, I'm kind of tired when I share my story to people and they'll be like "you can try educating them" because you would understand it won't work. They are stubborn and have been stuck with the mindset, so it's fine. I will not force them to believe in what they won't, they should believe it on their own will. As long as the younger generation doesn't walk in the same path, I'm very glad. I've learn to just not engage :D it gives me peace honestly.
She could have choose the easier route out by having long hair but despite of all others criticism she choose to be true to herself that act itself is a courage act
shout out to my fellow singaporean closeted queers - the fear is real and it's also okay not to tell your parents if you don't feel safe/ready. but if it helps, you're not alone. we're in this together xx
Damn I didn't expect to shed a tear or two watching this. It's so nice to see a progressive and accepting father at that kind of age. The world would be a better place if more parents were like him. Happy pride month everyone, be proud!
Kudos to Christopher. He may look strict but he is actually a very very good man and a super dad. He not only tells his children that he loves them, he truly accepts them and protects them. 🤧🤧🤧
this was heartwarming to see, especially in a country where lgbtq is not accepted by many, where some get bullied to leave the school. this warms my heart to know we still have a chance
As a singaporean gay muslim i wish that my parents could accept me of who i am. Unfortunately i still am couldn’t come out, still in the closet cause i’m still living in her house afraid to get chased out if i ever come out. I hope someday i could get a affordable rental room and leave that horrible place soon
Your not alone too same but I'm from a Christian family I love my parents but I know they won't accept me for being gay so I keep a low profile and study school hope to do well and moved aboard
There was a year that I had my hair cut as short as Claire and people would ask why I cut so short and mom would defend me saying “fashion la”. Love my mom
It is normal that all parents want to look out for their children happiness and protect them at all cost. Definition of happiness depend on the understanding of each parent.
I agree with your father, be happy, be you. The worst thing in life is always to live according what is expected of you as being "correct".. have a good life claire.🥳
BROOO, im a far-right conservative person but some of these comments need to stop for real. yes, we may not necessarily agree with the stance they are taking but learn how to be a civilized human and respect their decision and choices. As long as they arent putting a knife down and asking you to change there is not much reason to fight back with hostility. yes, we can have a healthy debate/discussion about alternating views but I really don't see a need to hurl insulting words over. Whatever they do, let's just respect them.
Live your life the way you feel it's right Claire and so proud of you for staying true to yourself as well as the courage to do so! Christopher is an awesome papa and parents should be like him, serve as a protector, respect his children, and attempt to understand them. Love~
sometimes boys are born to love girls,girls are born to love boys,boys are born to love boys ,girls are born to love girls .is the heart have feeling like that, not bcoz they want to
I feel like women's body check up is like quite important. But you know, coming from a traditional mindset family, it's hard to like ask about these question. What if I feel wrong but just dk who to ask, how to find out. This has make me feel less confident. so, really hope that yk there's a sharing of where to contact or what can we do
Claire has come out of the closet. Them father was surprised but expressed support of them actions. They is lucky to have such an understanding father.
Thanks for sharing this story. Well, as much as I do agree that relationship and love is indeed very precious and touching but... still, I think the truth still stands. If you know that your children has done something wrong and you never try to teach or correct them and instead, just let them "happily" continue to do what they like, then you are actually letting them marching towards the direction of hell without even warning them and you rather cares how they "feel" rather than the wrong decisions that may lead to more terrible outcome which could be of no point of return. Which is more important? Feelings? or right and wrong? I believe we know that truth does hurt sometimes, but when choosing between feelings (as long as you are happy then I'm happy for you) over telling the truth that really matters, I hope that we may learn to speak the truth rather than just letting our loved ones going in the wrong path of life. Unless of course, if we ourselves don't know what is right and what is wrong, then I think that's another whole new topic and problem. Having said that, yes I believe the father loves his child very much and there's absolutely no doubt about that. It's just that as parents I believe we cannot just simply focus on protecting our children feelings alone and not telling them that what they did was wrong. Because although the truth hurts (that's why some people might rather choose to avoid to talk about), yet in fact and in the end, "The Truth will set you free". The same question remains though, do we ourselves as parents know "The Truth", or not? Now that's another good question to think about.
Together - gain strength. All genders are but a part of nature. Useless & ignorant Bullies are everywhere to harm or hurt just about anyone - cultivate the Art of ignoring them.

grammatically incorrect lol
Still don't know how to use. Want me to fail my English exam?
First time i’ve heard people wanting to be referred to as they/them, that sounds so awkward

what a rare gem of a father
“what can I say? I love you so much” WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS?!?!!?
Love overcomes everything
when he said that i just started bawling... he showed his love through both words and actions, they are both blessed.
Watching this is public was a bad idea😭😭😭
I lost it when her dad said, " what can i say, I love you so much...that's the reason i accept you as who you are".
Dad looks strict and a little bit scary. But it turns out, he has a soft heart for his children.
That's why we must know everyone has layers like an onion. He may have the scariest outermost shell, but as you peel that out, it may become soft.
Grateful for parents like Christopher uncle.

Your father, christopher is a beautiful soul.
"I love my children very much." Not just lip service. We need more parents like him.
The assurance that he gave to his daughters are so reassuring 😊

yeah very courageous to purposely be ugly

Take care man, stay strong!
As someone who's not straight and from a muslim family as well, I know how much that really sucks. Keep moving forward man ✊
Your not alone too same but I'm from a Christian family I love my parents but I know they won't accept me for being gay so I keep a low profile and study school hope to do well and moved aboard
I'm really really blessed to also have a father like Christopher, told me exactly the same thing and now I'm missing him so much :'(
It takes a lot of courage to tell your parents but it takes even more to take a video of it! Good job!
There was a year that I had my hair cut as short as Claire and people would ask why I cut so short and mom would defend me saying “fashion la”. Love my mom
He said, "Daddy's here to protect you." ♥ I replayed it and acted like it was said to me.
Wow...Such a beautiful, strong and unconditional relationship between a father and his daughter. Love this so much!
I can understand how this father feels. Such a nice dad.
Love is accepting, unconditional. Thank you for this video, we DO have families that loves truly.
Amazing - every lgbt child needs a father like this!!!!
I teared alot at the last question segment. Dad has such a beautiful soul and the love for his children is so pure and unconditional. I am so touched.
What a wonderful Dad! The love he has for his child is so much greater than anything else....

Christopher is a role model for unconditional love ❤️
Bravo for this very wonderful, very loving Dad! God loves everyone! God bless Claire & Christopher & all their family! 🙏🙏
What a wonderful and logical parent 😍😍😍😍😍.
quick, someone take a leveling meter and put on top of uncle's hair
they are my classmate in poly and i think it's really cool that they and their father are so brave to share this with us. i wish them well
Every father should be like this.
may we all embrace each other and understand our differences, being lgbtq is not something you can change, please respect that!
He can be accepting because he's exposed to the community and accept it. The second part is really important.
Protect your family to the max, they really precious🥰🥰🥰
_cries in non supportive parents_
Really proud and wise what claire father's do, "although they are my children, they have their responsibility"👍
"I'm always a very protective father" 😭
Be happy with who you want to be,you are very blessed to have a very understanding father!!
What an incredible Dad. A model parent.
What a lovely relationship between the two!
My respect for the father.
Blessings to your Father or both your Parents. Blessings to you to proceed on to a beautiful life ahead🙏🙏🌹🌹

A wonderful and sweet Dad 🥰
