“If you assign your kid a binary gender at birth, but you want them to be honest with you about their identity, be honest with them about why you gave them an assignment. "Most people expect someone with your body to be a boy/girl, but they're wrong to assume that. There are boys, girls and non-binary people who look like you. I use these pronouns because that's what people expect but if you think I might be wrong or know that I am, all you need to do is tell me. You are the boss of your body and your identity. Only you know who you are, and I love you, believe you and support you and will fight for you no matter what." Kids never hear that. So many kids need to hear that.”

i want a hoodie that just says 'disinfectant' on the back

what's better?
a) learning the real-world incidences of things (i.e. how many apples does george have?) and then the underlying abstract constructs
b) learning the abstract concepts (i.e. number line) first, then applying them to real-life situations

this very much depends on the person in question

fair, but overall what's generally better from a young age?

Trying to validate things I’ve been struggling for years. I don’t make it clear on what happened nor do I really want it to be brought up. Sharing my experiences really help me get over things and this has been something I’ve been dealing with for such a long time. 2 of those years I’ve blamed myself for what happened. Until finally I’ve come to terms after help of my therapist and my partner, that it wasn’t my fault. I still blame myself but I’m coming to terms that it was very real, and I am never going to recover. But it has also helped me grow stronger. Without this experience I may be as easily manipulatable as I was way back then. I’ve grown as a human and I’m glad I can make it through this. I hope you finally find your safe place in life, and I hope you learn to cope with any traumas you’ve experienced yourself. Please do not watch if you are uncomfortable with self harm or mentions of abuse. Thank you.
