What a horrible fucking thing to tell CHILDREN. They don’t need to know all of this. Creating a child is a complex series of events that are much more complicated than counting to ten, something they just learned how to do because THIS SHOW IS GEARED TO YOUNG CHILDREN!!!!! Stop Lindsey and her demented teddy bear.

Queer Kid Stuff teaches pre-schoolers their LGBTQ’s in a fun interactive web series. The hosts, Lindsay and her non-binary best friend Teddy, discuss topics like, “What Does Gay Mean?” and “What is Consent” in an approachable non-sexual fashion that is appropriate for all ages.

Check out their recent video post about Harry Potter!

I saw the channel QueerKidStuff and all I have to say is good intentions, wrong audience. If kids are still learning the damn alphabet using colorful blocks and you cannot describe sexuality as being "sexually attracted" then they may be too young to actually be learning things about sexuality.

Have you seen this adorable show on YouTube called Queer Kid Stuff? They have a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/queerkidstuff The show endeavors to explain gender, feminism, orientation, queer subject matters in general to kids. I think she does such a great job! I highly recommend checking it out. https://youtu.be/xnTSSbS7Dgk My favorite part is in the theme song that ends with “You are enough here at Queer Kids Stuff.” Makes my tiny feminist heart burst! She handles each of the subjects in a way that is age appropriate and fun. And of course there has been a lot of backlash. But here’s the thing she never addresses sex only talks about love. And we talk about heterosexual love with kids all the time! It’s in every Disney movie! (Sometimes in ways that are no longer really love and just kinda creepy.) Mostly she’s teaching kids who they are is okay and who other people are is okay.

Via Autostraddle:

According to Amer, “Kids are the future, plain and simple. If we want to create a more diverse and inclusive world for ourselves and generations to come, we need to educate young people properly to de-stigmatize LGBTQ+ identities.”

At Butches + Babies, this kind of work is near and dear to us! Our goal is to also contribute positively to invisibility reduction, the power of naming, the celebration of diverse families and familial-bonds, and so much more. It’s so great to see this work continue and to see it reach far and wide! A million thanks to Amer for this incredible work - starting a dialogue rooted in accessible education is huge! - and we’re super excited to see how Queer Kid Stuff continues to expand and increase their reach! Look for the full first season of Queer Kid Stuff, a 10-episode series, later this year.
