@bydonmartin: Let Kids Be Kids — this video came out a few years ago out of a moment of frustration with supposed allies who love us but don’t think we should be around kids. Not to write books or read books or be in any kind of relationship or express affection or really anything other than silence. This one video changed my life and I still get emails and DMs about it daily. Happy Pride Month everyone.

I was a queer kid too since I can remember. Queer kids exist and are abandoned by the system.

Indoctrinate? 🙄 I have never had a gay/trans person come to my home and tell me that I better accept RuPaul’s drag race into my heart or else I’ll burn for eternity. But I bet you can guess who has knocked on my door several times doing something similar. Hint: Christians!

This does help. It’s affirms my decision to spend an hour in the car each way to get my kids to a school they can be themselves in.

Yesterday I asked my 4-yo if the (trans) girl who washed her hair at great clips was nice. She replied, “he- she sounded like a boy” and when I said “yeah, some girls sound like boys because some girls start out as boys and become girls later” and her reply was “oh. she was sooo nice”. It’s that easy for kids to understand. 💀

My son is 5. FIVE. He is energetic and loves to act. We tried sports, he likes being with friends but could care less about the actual game. So I signed him up for a theater class in Jan. He SHINES. He loves it. He runs around the house singing. Even though we did practice every day and rehearsals multiple times a week. when the play was over. he asked to keep doing the songs and dances. he asked to do the play again but wanted to try another part. Theater focuses his adhd energy. utilizing his desire to be creative, and he learns to memorize and be confident. Hes starting a new play as of today. People havr asked me why do I encourage it. why do I want him to be gay. HE IS FIVE.

the same people who will say "I'm against indoctrination" will say "he's gonna grow up to be a ladies man" when a baby boy looks at a girl for more than a second...

it’s “let kids be kids” until those kids don’t act how adults want them to…

The truth is they’re ok with indoctrination as long as it lines up with their beliefs. I’m sorry the indoctrinated kids wouldn’t just let you be a kid. 😞

This is still real. My son wore a dress to his preschool graduation. He now tells me “pink is for girls” and that he doesn’t like Barbie anymore. It makes me so sad, and I don’t know what to do.

I remember when I got in trouble for losing my temper for being spit on. During class. in front of the teacher. I was the one punished. Over and over.
