OK so to the people who got mad at Sesame street for making a happy pride month post and saying kids should wait until they are at least 8 to 13 to learn about the LGBTQ community or not at all
please understand that when I was five years old I tried to kill myself and had regular suicidal thoughts because of, unbeknownst to me at the time, gender dysphoria
I thought I was just really insecure, that's why I hated looking in the mirror and felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin every time I looked in it. I'm only here today because I thought I'd go to hell if I died. Five.
letting the kids know about this community isn't the problem, it's how you're trying to make them disappear, because I didn't know what I was feeling, why everytime I gave my life to God I never felt "the emenst feeling of freedom and security" everyone said you'd feel when God forgave you, I just assumed I was an awful person. that I was so revolting that God himself didn't want me and I'd go to hell because something was wrong with me and I didn't know what it was.
That could be your child, sitting on a toilet having a mental breakdown wishing they had never been born, that they died at birth all because your scared of your child being different.
But hell, it's better to have a dead kid than a queer one, right??
