Conservative broadsheet, the *Daily Telegraph*, has come under fire after [publishing a letter ](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/parenting/woke-daughter-shadow-former-fun-loving-self-starting-dislike/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)from an anonymous father who called his daughter a *“snowflake Gen Z”* for coming out as bisexual. In the letter, published as part of a new ‘Parenting Confessions’ column, the author said that they can’t *“converse with my woke 18-year-old daughter without getting angry”*, adding that she recently announced: *“I like girls and boys”.*

The author insisted: *“My children can be whatever they want to be, and I will love them equally”*, but stated his belief that his daughter isn’t bisexual and sees the orientation as trendy: *“My daughter doesn’t like girls and boys; she likes boys. But she says she is attracted to both to jump on another woke bandwagon because for snowflake Gen Z, it’s trendy to be gender-ambiguous.”*

Following the release of the column, Labour MP Charlotte Nichols [tweeted](https://twitter.com/charlotte2153/status/1419968629253328897?ref=scenemag.co.uk): *“Grim reading from the Telegraph with the biphobic trope that it’s a phase or something done for attention, with the paternalistic drivel that a father has a better sense of their (adult) daughter’s sexuality than their daughter does? Some girls do like girls and boys. Get over it.”*

Another Twitter user [wrote](https://twitter.com/inelliegant/status/1419939075910418448?ref=scenemag.co.uk): *“Really, really shocked at the Telegraph for this. Imagine hating your daughter so much that you go out of your way to publish a newspaper article invalidating her bisexuality”*, receiving over 15k likes on the tweet. The Telegraph has yet to respond to the criticism.
