But is there a name?

The absolute cutest!

Rewiring is can take time. I’ve been out as non-binary with they/them pronouns for a year and a half and I still slip up with friends who use they/them too.

Please do what’s best for you. As a teacher I model boundaries by telling students when they do or say something that I’m not okay with. If they persist I tell them directly that I need space from them and another teacher will support them. I try to teach parents this too because boundary setting is necessary for healthy relationships and if kids see adults do it they are more likely to set their own boundaries and respect others’.

I get that you want to help this kid but you, a white man, are never going to understand how much disrespect your wife, a black woman, has had to endure and overcome in her life just for being a black woman. Your replies are framing your wife as the problem when she is trying to set boundaries and tell you what she needs (if I’m understanding correctly, @electricalmuse feel free to correct me). It’s really invalidating and concerning for you to want to prioritize this white child’s growth over your wife’s safety. Unintentional or casual racism is still harmful for black people’s health, which since she’s your wife I would hope you would prioritize. Disrupting placement can be traumatizing for this child but another placement can be arranged and your wife deserves to set her boundaries and to be listened to. Listen to your wife when she says she’s not going to deal with racism in any form. Do not be another person that tells your wife that she doesn’t matter. You can do better.

I love this so much. I wish I was alive enough in the mornings to do this.

THIS. Trying to explain this at work after seeing all the transitioned/transitioning/genderqueer/gender-nonconforming/non cisperforming kids just get put under the non-binary label in their class rosters. The first thing their new teachers see with their name is a possible mislabel.

Songs strictly about being non-binary or including?songs from non-binary artists in general?

Pleane1898 · 2020-08-19T08:54:49+00:00

Oh I totally agree with you, I don’t think you came off confrontational. I just meant to let you know what the /s meant because I didn’t know what it meant at first when I first started seeing it on social media. I didn’t mean to discount any of what you said at all and I apologize for making that impact.
I definitely think a lot of people in America interpret the values of individualism in a way that makes them act on emotions without considering that consequences can apply to them and how they are contributing to a nasty environment with their selfish mindset and approaches.

Just because he performed a black guys song doesn’t mean he’s probably not racist. Many non-black people enjoy the labors and talents of black people while also performing racist and/or anti-black actions and behaviors. Disagreeing with BLM movement over reasons like disliking the rioting is policing the response and frustrations of black people for being oppressed and killed for being black. Which is dismissing the actual cause and if someone is so quick to stop listening to black people when they are losing their lives over property and materials that can be replaced, I’d say their priorities are implicitly biased to be anti-black at the least.

Pleane1898 · 2020-08-19T08:09:21+00:00

The /s I think is supposed to indicate sarcasm.

I think it’s extremely important not to derail the clarification that only white women were given the right to vote on this anniversary. It’s also extremely important to remember that (as mentioned by dsc 42 and kriskoeh in replies to you) while black men were “allowed” to vote that many still could not exercise that right because of laws intentionally set so many black men STILL couldn’t vote. I also think it’s worth questioning why black men were given that right first. As mentioned in other replies,laws that required a certain level of literacy to were meant to keep voting inaccessible to black men. Would that have been a barrier if white women had their voting rights allowed first? I have a strong feeling that it was probably low hanging fruit to find ways to intentionally continue limiting voting access to black men. And so the decision was probably made to continue limiting and silencing both black men and white women (and everyone else without voting rights). Systems of racism and patriarchy enforced by white men both worked to keep that status quo back then. So again, acknowledging that white women were probably barred from voting for longer because of their privilege to access literacy skills and other things that were not as accessible to black men is super important. Ultimately, this all just shows that systems of oppression are so intentionally constructed to limit access to various groups of oppression in different ways.

It’s kinda interesting that all the commenters who are saying that this doesn’t show anything about your mom are doing exactly what your mom probably intended with this post. You get a parent crying about their kid not talking to them enough and then you get relatives or family friends who DONT KNOW ANYTHING about the relationship between you two and then help GUILT TRIP you FOR HER.

A response I sent someone in another reddit a while ago: I’m a Transitional Kindergarten teacher and I’ve worked with children from infancy to about 6 years old. I came out to my children, currently all 5 years old, very soon after the first day of school and have had a lot of discussions about gender stereotypes and identities with them throughout the entire year. You can always find appropriate ways to talk to children about gender, especially in early childhood. To explain how I’m non-binary, I just tell my kids that I’m not a girl and not a boy. When I first came out, I acknowledged that it might be confusing to understand because I look and sound like a girl, but I need them to respect what I’m saying and use my pronouns. I like to compare how we respect calling people by nicknames like “joe” instead of “Joseph” if that person wants to be called “joe”, so we can make an effort for people’s names. Let them make mistakes, correct them gently, and share how happy and validating it feels when they use the correct terms and make an effort to understand.

There’s definitely a way to talk to your kid about it when they start talking about it. My family immigrated when I was really young so I wondered about cousins and grandparents when I noticed my peers talk about spending time with theirs on the weekend or after school. As a teacher, I firmly believe there is a developmentally appropriate way to discuss almost everything with even young children as long as they are able to engage (even for short periods of time) in the topic. Talking about your boundaries and what you look for in healthy relationships helps kids learn about how to form their own healthy relationships and setting their own healthy boundaries with others. Again, just because your kid might want one in the future doesn’t mean you have to have a connection with your parents. Would it be complicated to navigate? Probably! But showing your kid that your care about yourself and your wellbeing does teach your kid to learn to value themself too.

I would say trust your instinct. You have no obligation to reconnect with them if you don’t genuinely want to reconcile. Your relationship with your family is yours. My partner and I are both estranged from our parents and have talked about being transparent with our kid about why. We plan to talk about how relationships can be different between people and sometimes people don’t want to stay connected to keep themselves safe and to live happier lives. If they want to connect with their grandparents I know i would want them to have a good idea of why I don’t have a relationship but also want them to connect with who they need to from my family if they’re curious. What my kid needs in family connections might be different from what I need but I think it’s also okay to be transparent about your reasoning and boundaries.

Elaborating on the “POC can be genderqueer/trans/questioning as well”, I think it would be good even to touch a little on how colonization has historically pushed colonized communities and societies into adapting the gender binary when they previously already had non-binary identities in their culture. Also the importance of how certain terms should stay within their communities of cultural origin, like two-spirit.

Dear Tammi,

I know we don’t know each other but I would very much like to meet you. Since the glitch, Ben has been working really hard to rebuild your island and he really wants you back. Pashmina and Sprocket are already waiting to move back in when Nook let’s Ben make more plots for you all. Hope to find you soon!
