Explaining things to my kid
This conversation {Albeit with a bit of paraphrasing} just happened to me and my sister ladydarkfox while she showed my daughter videos of a male belly dancer.
Daughter: His hair looks weird.
ladydarkfox: He’s mixed.
Me: You can’t say someone looks weird just cause they are different.
The rest of the conversation was me explaining to her {My daughter} that a lot of people were different and she shouldn’t judge others on their looks but on their actions {I actually put it as “You have to judge people by their heart”}. The conversation even turned to the fact some people are born the wrong gender. this led to us bringing up people we knew who were trans and those we knew as gender fluid. And then I pointed out, for the first time in front of my mom, that I was gender fluid which led to this conversation:
Me: it’s where a person sometimes feels like a boy and sometimes they feel like a girl and others they kind don’t feel like anything.
Daughter: Oh.... So you sometimes like being a boy?
Me: No I feel I am a boy sometimes.
ladydarkfox: I feel like that sometimes too.
Then she went to watch her uncle play Kingdom Hearts..... Not sure if I handled that right but decently sure I surprised my mom. XD
