ᓚᘏᗢ If I make you uncomfortable or hurt you in any way, PLEASE tell me. I will try my best to make it up to you.
ᓚᘏᗢ I WILL block you if I feel uncomfortable, or your views go against my woke ones.
ᓚᘏᗢ I talk about a lot of triggering topics like mental health, and I swear a lot, so if you don't like that, you don't have to stay! :)
More under the cut! (It's kinda long, sorry.)
I'm trying to tell you something
My Identity: I am AroAce (with a sort-of Queer-Platonic Partner!), MLM, and masculine-aligning gender-wise. Don't ask me more about that part, I have as much of an idea as you do.

Someone was playing an IvanTill edit during "too little, too late" when my friend went to go see Laufey a little while ago and she is only telling me this NOW
Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.
And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.
Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.
i remember being like 8 or 9 and being told that my dad’s ex-wife was no longer diane and we were to address her as daniel now. my reaction: “ok.”
me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.
finding out a sorta-relative could just change genders off camera, as it were, was a whole lot less head-splodey than finding out there were no squirrels in australia!
"Won't they be confused by all the--" So what if they are? Life is often confusing. That's part of how we learn. Part of the job of an adult is to help confused kids learn and understand things. There's no obligation to protect the kids from the confusing things. Quite the reverse.
In my experience anyone using this BS excuse isn't worried about a child's potential confusion, but their own, which they don't want to admit to having.
Aussie here, I DIDN'T KNOW SQUIRRELS WERE ACTUALLY REAL FOR THE FIRST EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE NO JOKE I THOUGHT THEY WERE A MYTHICAL ANIMAL LIKE UNICORNS
Also kids are far less likely to be confused by something the younger they learn about it. Kiddo had queer people in his life and casual references to queerness before he could even talk. It was never confusing for him. It was normal.
I hate that so many non-Australians (particularly Americans), think that Australians are basically living in an arena where all of the wildlife is trying to kill us. AMERICANS have some awful animals too. You don't see me getting attacked by a goddamn grizzly bear.
