I know someone who's kid wanted to be called Potato for a while, which I think is very cute. Just because you think something is silly or cringe doesn't give you permission to deny someone their identity, whether or not it's a "phase".
Queer people (and marginalised people in general) have a long history of reclaiming words that have used against them as slurs. Exhibit A: the word "queer" itself
There's a big difference between someone using a word against someone with the intent to dehumanise versus someone genuinely *asking* for you to use that word
I'm pretty sure the post is talking about their kid's friend, yeah
Fuck yea! Much love from a fellow transfemme
I live just a few miles from the first one!
Non-binary here, and I approve this meme
can damage our self-esteem and is basically gaslighting our whole life experience. Hope this helps, and I hope you have a nice day ? 4/4
Bc of societal views, (especially new) trans people have this in the back of our heads all the time, and having someone remind us of this 3/
The main thing is that the joke is essentially saying, "Just because I say I'm a window doesn't mean I am one." Hope the analogy is clear 2/
Hi @OP, trans person here. Though I'm aware that it's just a joke, hopefully I can respectfully explain why this joke could be harmful 1/?
Only you can prevent forest fires
Having emotions is nothing to be ashamed of, my guy
Bad news for you: the two women aren't going to drape themselves over a straight dude that fetishizes their sexuality
I really thought this was going to be a cute mushroom lamp, but as the video went on, I was just more and more horrified
Glad I could help! An enby is a non-binary (NB) person i.e. someone whose gender isnt just man/woman. I'm agender so I just dont have one :)
and I think I speak for most of us that it would be a shame if this one person stopped you from figuring yourself out, regardless of outcome
Assholes exist for every sexuality (hmm, pun partially intended?) That being said, the ace and enby communities I'm in are very wholesome 1/
I hope you know that that's not actually German
This is just far enough removed from both English and German that I have no idea what it says...

Used-to-be-a-dude here. Having friends that accept you for how you want to present yourself is an incredible resource
Not trying to detract from your thing, but Hobby Lobby has a history of homophobia etc, so I'd recommend finding a different craft store
Aaaaa that's really sweet!!
It took me 21 years to realise that wanting to feel pretty was a valid emotion to have
Just doing my job!
Well, as far as I can tell, they're relatively faithful, but it's basically impossible (and a bit pointless imo) to try and make it accurate
It could be red due to extinction (absorption/scattering by dust) or due to redshift (space expanding in between you and the object)
