How should you answer dumb questions

[Chimera]

I'm sorry you had that situation. It's only worse when people offer childish answers in response as if our traumas are on par with "being told to clean our rooms before we get TV".

I'd agree with the vague "This isn't about being made to wear dress clothes" but if that didn't work, the hard part is walking away. Not that we're always good at that either.
