It’s so hard to avoid...
One time I went to the beach when I was younger. (First mistake there). I had a trans man come up to me and tell me how awesome my hair was, I had bright magenta hair then, and how he couldn’t ever get hisnthat color. I was so uncomfortable I just said thanks, and walked away. Well, he kept trying to hang out with my girlfriend and I so we ended up leaving for a while before coming back.
When my oldest was first born, I had no idea how bad trick or treating was then. We ran into a few young boys ages 3-7 dresses as princesses. I seriously had no idea what to say... you can’t hide anywhere from their influence anymore.
