Someone needs to inform the (rightly) pro-piracy tumblr users that it is no longer 2014 and some of the services they are recommending will turn ur computer in a broken microwave that serves bitcoins to shitheads.

things i have seen/experienced working in a toy store:

• a customer asking me if boys like coloring

• a customer telling her daughter she can’t give out ice cream stickers for party favors because there will be boys there

• an older couple laughing about how there’s a pink toy sword because a boy would never play with a pink toy sword (because i guess boys can’t like pink and girls don’t play with toy swords. also it wasn’t even pink it was red lol)

• a customer refusing to buy a snail robot kit for his nephew because it was “too cute for a boy”

• a customer sharply reminding me she was buying a gift for a boy when i suggested play food

• a customer telling her daughter she needed to pick a different birthday card for her friend because the one she chose had a pink envelope (her friend was a boy)

• a customer asking what a boy would like for valentine’s day instead of the stuffed dogs she was getting for the girls

• a customer getting upset when my coworker used blue ribbon on a gift bag because the present was for a girl

• a customer saying a toy guitar was “too girly” for her grandson, based only on the fact that the box had a picture of a girl playing with it (the guitar was red with yellow music notes)

but yeah, trans people have some real weird ideas about gender

Less Talked About Signs of Past Emotional Abuse/Neglect

Just my experiences, wondering if anyone relates.

Avoidance of conflict, especially out of fear that said conflict will be explosive

Compulsive lying - typically to avoid conflict

Avoidance of sharing interests - often because parental figures didn't care or mocked interests

Hesitance to express negative emotions - the idea that negative emotions will always lead to an altercation

Hiding things they care about - parents who take away comfort items as punishment or for "jokes"

Shift blame onto themselves to avoid further conflict - try to make arguments go away with "it was my fault I'm sorry"

Have difficulty accepting kindness - see it as charity, a favor to return or a joke

Seek guidance/assurance that they're doing the right thing the right way - even if the situation doesn't call for it
