Nico: When I’m a parent I won’t take my kids’ electronics away, I’ll just take the charger so I can watch the fear in their eyes as they use it less and less while the battery slowly begins to run out.

Percy: Slow down Satan

Dad:

Oh btw if someone tells you they want to be called by a different name saying it’s a nickname, call them by it.

You don’t know if it’s actually something more and they’re not ready to tell you or they don’t think they can, and even if it isn’t that’s not really your business or choice to make.

It’s really draining to be constantly called by a name you don’t connect with or like.

So don’t ask “well can I still call you [x]?”

Even if they say you can, they could just be saying that to appease you or to avoid further questions. Even if they really are okay with it, it’s better to just call them what they’d prefer to be called.

This goes for anyone, not just trans/nb people. Cis people change their names too and that’s perfectly fine. They don’t connect with their birth name, so they want to go by something else. It’s not that hard a concept to grasp, and it’s not difficult to just call them by their actual name.

Accidental slip ups are bound to happen and are okay, but just not trying at all completely dismisses what could be a very important thing to someone. Even if it’s not that’s not really your business.

This is especially important for parents to understand, I think.

Oh I forgot to tell y’all I came out as nb to my dad and I just kinda explained my specific gender as half girl half boy bc it’s Easier and shit

And he was chill about it and made a bunch of dad jokes so here are my favorites:

- him: now that ur a guy do u wanna shoot a gun?

Me: no

Him: ah ok good

- *drives by a hooters* now that ur a guy do u wanna go there?

Me: that’s the same joke twice but sure

Dad: too bad *keeps driving*

- for context for the next one: when I came out as bi/pan he asked me “so if you marry a woman do I only need to pay for half the wedding?” And then bought me a pride sweatshirt

- so this time he asked me “so how does this effect how much money I’m paying for your wedding?”

- I told him it’d be 25% off if I married a dude, 75% off if I married a girl, and 100% off if I married another nb person bc I didn’t wanna do any math. So uhhh free weddings for nb ppl now I guess

- true trans rights is that we all get free weddings from now on. amen.

My mom is making me put some of my stuffies in a box to put in the garage but I’m feeling guilty because I don’t want to pick and choose and I’m worried I’m going to regress and I don’t know what to do :(
