Gendering SUCKS.
I will have a second post about this with pictures, but I wanted to share a story.
I went to Wal-Mart (basically a store that sells everything) today with my parents, and they wanted to look at baby clothes for my baby brother. As I looked around, I noticed how the "boy's" clothes had either dinosaurs, trucks, or sports on them. The "girl's" clothes were even worse. Barely any variety, and they were either pink or looked like a rainbow threw up it them. With cupcakes and unicorns, of course.
I'm probably overreacting because they're baby clothes, but I don't think it matters what it is. Not all girls love cupcakes and rainbows, and not all boys like trucks and sports. Sometimes it's a mix of everything. I respect the guys who wear pink, those who do are real men because they don't care what people think. Anybody should be able to wear what they want and express themselves.
I know that they are babies and won't remember it, but it still sucks. IMO, I feel like if girls keep getting 'girly' things and boys still get 'boyish' things, it will just encourage the behavior at a young age that this is for boys and this is for girls, and not that they are free to like whatever they want.
Please don't tell me I'm overreacting or anything, because I know I am, but I'm trying to make a point. Stop gendering things. If you're a guy and like unicorns and dresses, go for it. I won't judge you at all. I will take you shopping and we can find some matching skirts. If you're a girl and like working with construction, good for you! You could build a nice house for people to live in. If you're non-binary and you present as fem or masc, go for it! Look and do as you please.
Just, please, stop gendering things. It's getting on my nerves.
(I'll have a post with pictures after this one.)

I saw someone post something about picking the ace-choice artist. I have another suggestion.

I regularly donate some money to an organization raising awareness about different sexualities and this is what they sent me as a gift ☺

I made some cards, ones with lines and ones without lines. (I made them to be used as phone backgrounds, I looked up the measurements but I'm not sure if they're gonna look ok.)
