Tufty Indigo 🪗What really stuck out for me at #CambridgePride this weekend wasn't the shows, the banners, or the hot topless guys. It was a group of kids in their v early teens. One of them had a masc body type but was wearing a very fem chiffon blouse thing over a tight vest: possibly just going for a femboy look, or maybe dressing as their preferred gender. (The outfit looked more like the latter but I don't want to assume, especially in the setting!) They looked a bit flustered but happy enough to be dressed like that among a (mixed but all cis looking) group of peers. And as it's Pride, I wondered if it might be their first time dressing that way. Either way, I hope they learned that day whether they liked it or not.
Even among an atmosphere of campaigning, protesting, and supporting, it was the most wholesome thing I saw that day, and it gave me hope. Do what you like, transphobes. You're too late, the kids already know how to be true to themselves.
