I found sources. 

The word “man” was gender neutral and referred to both sexes until the 13th century

The female specific pronoun “she” was invented in the 12th century. 

The word “girl” was gender neutral and referred to children of both sexes until the 15th century

High heels were invented for men and were worn predominantly by men until the 16th century

From the mid 16th century to the 19th century boys would typically wear dresses until the age of 7

Until the early 1930s pink was considered the appropriate colour for baby boys and blue was the colour for baby girls

In 2017, a Christian couple pull their 6yo son out of a primary school because his classmate is transgender - citing their “traditional beliefs”  IMPORTANT NOTE: Last source is transphobic and from a pro-life website that attempts to defend the dumb ass couple. Feel free to ignore it if you prefer, but it was included for the sake of accuracy.

to everyone asking if what they went through was ‘really’ trauma: it was. if you feel you were traumatised by it, then it was trauma. there’s nothing more to it than that

[teenypumpkinbaby-deactivated202]

my therapist told me that trauma is any situation in which you felt helpless that has had a lasting impact on you. trauma doesn’t always feel “traumatic” at the time. you’re valid in your emotions even long after something has happened.

Ok so this election was cool and all, but are y'all ready to do this again in GA in January for control of the Senate?

WHO WANTS TO DEMOTE MCCONNEL TO MINORITY LEADER?

GET OUT THE VOTE IN GA. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIDEN DOING SOMETHING OR FAILING TO WORK WITH BRICK MITCH MCCONNELL

HERE IS A SMALL SELECTION OF BILLS PASSED BY THE HOUSE, AND IGNORED IN THE SENATE:

source: https://www.vox.com/2019/11/29/20977735/how-many-bills-passed-house-democrats-trump THE ARTICLE BLAMES TRUMP. THAT IS INCORRECT. THE TRUE BLAME IS MITCH MCCONNELL. If we do not get these two seats in Georgia, Obstruction will stop ALL OF THESE BILLS. I don’t believe the presidency changes much in terms of where our country is directly headed; perhaps Trump is an exception, but we need the senate to accomplish anything.  Let’s make McConnell as infamous as Nancy Pelosi is. These run-off elections aren’t just about individual senators; it’s about every issue the House has passed since 2019.
