Whats the they/them titles?
Hey, so as an agendered person who uses They/them pronouns, I'm a bit confused for titles such as, Father/Mother, I know its parent but are there any other words for this, same thing with Girlfriend/Boyfriend/...lover?. and son/daughter/child.
I like using the male labels however I just need to know. XD

There are a lot of them out there, and it really comes down to what feels right to you. In all of these different non-binary terms, you can find stuff that feels right to you, and it's really just trying a lot of these things out.
My pronouns are they/she, so my wife will refer to me as both her wife and her partner, and she’ll flip back and forth. With our dogs, rather than going by mom, we created the term Demmy that I really enjoy as an alternative parent term. With my nephew, I go by Zizi. I will say the best one that I've always found is the honorific Mx. So, instead of Mr. or Mrs., Mx. I love it and feel like it just defines who I am.
So there are a lot of different things, but really it comes down to what do you want to be called? How do you want to be seen?

*gasp* agender person in the wild!!! ＼(°o°)／
"Jokes" aside, instead of boyfriend/girlfriend you can do partner. That's what I did. BUT that can imply a s**ual relationship. You could do significant other (SO) or enbyfriend, my favorite. For mother/father I like Maddy (Mom and Daddy mixed) or just calling you by your name. Whichever you are most comfortable with!
Hmm child is good, also kid, kiddo, any pet name, your name.
Have a really gay/LGBTQ new years eve!!!!

I call the person I'm dating my partner or boyfriend because they are He/They. So for dating: Partner, Significant Other, or Datefriend. For parents, being referred to as Mapa is sometimes good, as well as: Bi Bi, Mory, and Pom Pom.
