My daughter already said she doesn’t know if she is a girl or a boy because she likes sports and soccer and LEGO’s but likes her long hair and doesn’t hate nor like the color pink. It’s all because of moving to Washington. I had to show her the women’s soccer team winnning the World Cup for her to realize that that line of thinking is regressive horseshit. This place is trash man. Never had this issue in the South surprisingly where I saw little boys playing kitchen and girls playing with toy trucks in her daycare and she never said she doesn’t know.

I'm thankful as a highly GNC person that I grew up in a conservative small town. It was tough in some ways, but at least no one in my life tried to convince me I wasn't a girl.

Honestly my mother nor I were very particularly interested in “womanly” things and we sucked at it. Seeing my daughter this way just tells me she follows after me. Not that she stopped existing as a girl. My town in the south wasn’t all that conservative and the local politics was very moderate. Our HOA had a black Christian woman, a lesbian white woman and a confederate flying white woman as part of their board. All women. I loved it there. Sometimes I would pick up my kid from daycare and see little boys in a princess costume playing with trucks and my daughter with police outfit playing with dolls. Now I have my daughter doubting who she is. This is nonsense.
