My tall white ass when I go out in public with my 5 year old nephew
Spent a few hours today playing Ni No Kuni with my 8-year old niece. I was worried she wouldn’t enjoy an RPG but she seemed to enjoy the simple gameplay, exploration and art style of it.
My nephew asked where I was yesterday, so I’m now required to go play with him tomorrow.
My ugly face and my nephew Evan. Good kid 10/10 would road trip with again.
I am not getting to hang out with my new niece but I am contributing in other ways.
Gendered Clothing
To be perfectly honest, it makes me really uncomfortable to see babies and young children in gender-specific clothing. I don't even mean clothes that are gendered/associated with specific genders, like dresses and bows or little suits and ties I mean clothing that ACTUALLY LABELS a child as 'Mommy's Little Man' or 'Little Princess' or the 'Big Brother' 'Little Brother' shirts my nephews have, or even imply it, like this (actually pretty cute) onesie I saw on my nephew that said 'I get my good looks from my Daddy.' The cuteness was the fact that there were some hipster glasses on it, as my brother does wear glasses. There's no reason why an afab child couldn't get their looks from their daddy, I sure did (honestly after being on T for a few years, I resemble my father even more than my Cis brother) but people probably won't put that on a daughter and even if they did, the assumption people would make is that this is a little boy. And I don't . . . know how to say it to my brother? Like, I'm fairly sure it just doesn't really occur to him at all and also probably a lot of those clothes (I know the matching brother shirts) were gifts and they can't really afford *not* to put their kids in the clothes that they have for them. The older boy is almost certainly Cis (he's only almost-five but has always seemed pretty confident in being a boy, which is a cute conversation for another post) and the likelihood of the baby being trans is probably not that great but it's not really even that. It's just the fact that people assign these labels without any thought of the effects it might have on non-Cis children.
Today's uncle duties took an unexpected turn today. Petting a strange dog to keep him away from the baby while being changed. This should happen more often
