reminder that assigning a child male/female before they're even old enough to have any input or understanding of that and raising them as a boy or girl is an inherently violent, coercive, and transphobic act
even if you raise them with a strong emphasis on the existence of queer people you're STILL putting social pressure on them & teaching them that cis is the default.
dont @ me cis ppl
@quine I'm trans so I can @ u :3
@quine this so much! Most of the stuff that fucked me up when I was little was the unspoken rules about gendered behaviour.
exploration & freedom must be the default
