Kids are great about gender stuff. I was hanging out with this three-year-old who I hadn’t met before, and while we were playing in the back yard, he asked me “are you a boy or a girl?” and when I said “I’m not really either, I’m just myself,” he accepted it right away! Later I heard him tell his mom that “she’s not a girl, she’s just himself!” which I thought was so sweet (I didn’t explain to him about my pronouns, but the fact that he tried his best says a lot).
If only adults could be the same way…
That’s so adorable how he switched the pronouns up…
almost every page is just!!! my experience, too!!!! i can’t believe my favorite comic has led me to a comic that i relate to so heavily!!! aaaugh this especially sucks when you’re too flustered to answer calmly so you’re just like
“are you a boy or a girl.”
“hahaha… no.” “… i mean. im. it’s complicated.”
and then youre just. laughing uncomfortably. looking for escape.
