[image description: screenshot of writing formatted as a question and answer exchange. headline of piece is: The Proposal to Raise Every Boy as a Girl. (author not listed)
Q. You want to raise every boy as a girl? Yes.
Q. Why? A boy will learn to hate girls as long as he is raised in such a way where he is treated as better, and superior to, his girl peers, whenever he is cruel to girls. So, instead, we raise boys as girls.
Q. What if they say they are not a girl, and want to be acknowledged as boy? Then you know they are a boy, so you must make sure to understand them as boy, and not a girl.
Q. What does it mean to be 'raised as a girl'? That's up for you to decide. The only difference is that you should not raise boys any differently than you raise girls, since you raise every boy as a girl.
Q. Girls and boys are raised in specific ways for specific purposes, so it does not make sense to raise boys as girls. If you raise every boy as a girl, then there is no being which is not raised as a girl, so anyone raised as a girl necessarily must learn to do anything and everything to grow up, without restrictions on tasks, labours, or interests.
Q. But boys and girls are different. All two girls are different, and raising girls in one specific way destroys this individuality in favour of moulding girls to serve the same master. Still, the girls resist to live life on their own terms. If girls can be raised such that they know they can do anything they want, including not being girls, so too will boys raised as girls.
Q. Why not raise every girl as a boy? Because if a girl does not exist among boys, then the girl is made.
Q. Why not raise girls and boys as themselves? The self must be made in a world where girls and boys can first and foremost be themselves. One step towards this goal is to raise every boy as a girl.
Q. The way people raise girls is cruel, so why would you raise boys with that cruelty? If you raise girls with cruelty, then you should stop being cruel to girls.

In hops Tylopelta gibbera, a small and sometimes deceptively complicated-patterned treehopper! It's hard to paint some of these insects because they have such variation in their coloration but I had go with the lighter, more visible patterns for this species because it's just so beautiful when you look closely. It's now up in my shop along with some restocks of two of the tiny lady beetle species!

Another awesome treehopper hiding amongst the elderberry bushes! When feeding, these guys will put up with pretty much any fiddling I do to their stem, so they're great for photos. This one was especially unbothered, allowing me to tilt it this way and that without even twitching. I need more of this bravery from leafhoppers—they're masters of evasion when they want to be!
Some new trinket dishes all set to go for the Forest and Found artisan market at Side Launch Brewing today!
