"how will i explain trans people to my kids" you see johnny, some people are just intrinsically sick as fuck and cool as hell, so they dress how they want and name themselves how they want and sometimes hack their own bodies to look how they want instead of letting other people tell them what to do

@haskal it's so funny because in my experience, kids are the most accepting. they don't gaf.

the most confusion/pushback I've had from a kid was one of my kid's classmates when i told her i was his mom (because she had already met his other mom) but even then once i specified i was his *other mom* she was like "oh ok".

kids parents, on the other hand, are not so nice. it's always distressing to me when my kid starts playing with another kid on a playground and they're into it until their parents come and herd them away while glaring daggers at me.

dammit, I'm here as a fellow parent, not a predator. uggggggh.

@tarajdactyl @haskal Such a good example!

Kids do have questions, but unlike adults they usually don't have any hidden agenda, just curiosity and/or confusion.

@tarajdactyl @haskal my friends son would introduce his trans mom as “this is my mom but I still call her dad because she’s cool.” Her son had a better attitude than some adult friends who just could not accept her for who she is.
@KimAstronut @haskal yeah my kid was 3 when i came out and he pretty seamlessly started calling me "mom".
@tarajdactyl @haskal that’s glorious! Kids see us for who we are 💖
