love how the gay couple from Sesame Street and the gay couple from the Muppets have opposite relationship dynamics, while both somehow embodying the Romantic Ideal

Shoutout to my dad who asked me what asexual meant and when I told him he said “it sounds like you need to get laid” and to my mom who asked me what being genderfluid was and then said “why does any of that have to do with gender. Just do whatever you want” and then to my dad again who I told I wasn’t cis and who responded “I think more important than being a man or a woman is being an adult” and then right back to my bio mom who said “if you want to be a boy just do it already. Why do you care what I think. You were cooler when you were 8 and didn’t give a shit about anyone’s opinion”. Neither of you get it but you’re still pretty chill

Call me crazy but I believe ALL public buildings should be legally required to have a public restroom.

On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:

Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.

My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."

She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.

And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.

And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.

If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.

She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.

Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.
