Some thoughts about #Pride from an Older, Wiser, Lesbian, who's also been an educator for multiple decades:
#queer, #lesbian #sapphic
1) rainbow capitalism sucks, but it's still better than being fired for being gay. Call it out when you see it and try to buy from places who actively support your values and your right to exist.

2) yes, a lot of queer history has been forgotten and it's frustrating to watch gaybies make the same mistakes, but that's part of growing up. You didn't learn math in one day and you had to repeatedly mess up 7x8 before you memorised it. Societies are the same. These kids are living a very different reality than we did, better in some ways, but a lot worse in others.
2/
3) there is almost no difference between boys and girls as children that isn't due to socialisation. Kids pick up on everything, even if they don't comment on it. Girls are told they can be anything and girl power and then suddenly have to mold themselves into weird shapes because boys are still raised to see women in a certain way.
A ridiculous amount of problems would be solved if you'd stop teasing boys for hugging, crying and sharing feelings.
