I feel like there is an untapped market of Bruce learning how to be a girl dad with Stephanie and Babs. All of his kids, all of his robins/partners up to that point have been boys, he’s never needed to learn how to de-tangle hair. How to buy pads or deal with menstruation. Understand why having functional, zipper pockets on the suit is such a joyous experience. He had a vague sense what it was, but never delved into it and was content in just yelling at Tim to quit covering up his B.O in axe body spray.
But by god he is going to be the best girl dad he can be. He watches reality tv with her. Learns how to go shopping, like actually engage not just stand and wait till his card is needed. What the different pad/tampon sizes are and what snacks they prefer. How to make hair appointments and why it costs 75 dollars just for layering and a trim. And when all else fails, asks Zatanna for help with he can’t figure something out something on his own. He is the best girl dad around and he’s not afraid to show it.
Normalize being (consensually) physically affectionate with your friends. Normalize playing with each other's hair and holding each other's hands and head kisses and big hugs and piggy-back rides and cuddles. Love one another.
My best friend, Trey (26M) is currently taking care of the axolotl plushie I (19M) gave him—that we, jokingly, coparent—and he sends me pictures of this little plushie that probably doesn't mean much of anything to him except that it means a lot to me. The other day, he told me that he left the TV on (playing Batman) for 'our son' after leaving to go to the gym. He takes this little stuffed animal on drives in his car and holds him like he is precious. This is love in its truest and purest form.

Why is it that sports culture is leaning away from 'take care of your body' when talking about injury and more towards shame and encouraging athletes to 'push through the pain'? Stop it. Do better.
Detransitioning is morally neutral. It's really nobody's business but yours, regardless of the reason.
Sometimes people get up in their feelings about it for various reasons, but that's their problem not yours.
Tried hormones and didn't like it? Sometimes it's like that, I support you.
Had some kind of revelation about your gender? I support you.
Lack of personal support? That sucks, pal. I hope it gets better and you get a support network that wants you to be happy and comfortable however that may be.
Medical complications? Sorry to hear that! I support you.
Literally any reason. I support you doing what you think is best for you.
