Which isn't even fair to assume considering she's not having a debate with another person, she's doing it... with herself, imagined as a docile debate opponent who conviniently has "nothing to say" back to her, so she assumes she "won" that argument. lol

ESPECIALLY DURING GROUP WORK OMG. Every single time I’ve been in a group of boys for an assignment (as an AFAB person) I’ve had to do every SINGLE THING, because boys’ are for some reason allowed to not take school seriously.

EXACTLY. I’m Also AFAB and I hate how I’m expected to get good grades and keep the boys in check when they get to Float around school and then graduate with top honors.

I'm afab and i was also paired up with kids, usually boys, that needed the "well behaved" student to help them with behaving and be thestudent with the higher grades helping the other students who have lower grades, i was told as much by teachers. It truly shows that they don't get paid enough to do this extra work or to care, that responsibility should not be put on me.

Hopefully this isn’t a disrespectful question, but were you GNC as a kid?

I knew I was a boy when I was 4 years old I just never had the language to put it into words so I tried to ignore it for as long as possible

My bestie was the same. He is trans, and he didn’t know being trans was a thing, and it wasn’t until he cosplayed as a guy and bound his chest did he start to question his gender. Same with me being asexual. I never knew that it was a thing, but I could never understand movies where the main characters got together with almost no build up, and I didn’t like the look of kissing and can’t judge someone’s looks until I know more of what their personality is like. So when I found out asexuality was a thing it made me realise that I’m not alone in feeling this. Also if kids can be so easily influenced, and get “turned” gay or trans or anything like that, then I’d like to see adults try and be a gender or sexuality that isn’t them. Even just for a day. Cuz they can’t. There will always be LGBT+ kids whether they like it or not. We mainly grew up watching cishet media and we still turned out LGBT+, so the idea that watching a gay couple kids would turn someone gay is ludicrous to me 💀

Commented for OP’s answer, staying for the replies 😎

This is exactly how I felt @@VampMoneyCollective

And also "please don't tell my parents" Like do you tell the parents that James that normally goes by Jimmy, is not going by Jim.

This! I get so frustrated because it is SO CONVENIENT to pretend as if all men are actually going to court for their child. The reality is that 90%+ of couples decide, without court, that the mother will have full custody of the child. Only less than 4% of fathers seek custody and don't receive any at all. This narrative is unbelievably hurtful not just to women, who are often left with the child because the father is not interested. BUT for dads who do want their kids and some stupid internet myth has convinced them that court isn't worth it. No different than men getting pissy because parent drop off boxes exist, but men have to pay child support. Even though men can use parent drop off boxes and women do have to pay child support. Just a bunch of kids who heard uncle donny drunk whine about how life is unfair (and never spoke about how he got there) and parroting his sad little tone without any thought or evidence.

Speaking from personal experience: you can not grant someone (*cough* the father *cough*) custody if he doesn't even bother to show up at the custody hearing. I mean, I guess, you could but what good would that do when the father is obviously not interested in the first place lol?

Moreover, a mother is more likely to lose the child custody when there is involved child ab*se perpetrated by the father. This is due to the Parental Alienation Theory coined by Richard Gardner who had disturbing views on women and vi*lence against children. His theory was disregarded by child psychologists but is still widely used by family courts -it grants an abuser access to the child inconditionally as any allegations are viewed as a child or mother's attempt to vilify the father. Needless to say, there are already children m*rdered because of the use of this mindset.

Reminds me of an article in my country about a man shouting loudly about how society was focused on women and women always winning custody of children in a divorce. A local newspaper dug into that mans life, and it turns out his child literally wanted to get away from him, because this man was completely caught by the trap set out by big technology companies and was completely obsessed with conspiracy theories, which caused him to be behind his computer and become close to negligent for the care of his child. When the pandemic happened, his father showed up to this boys school to shout conspiracy theories about the mask mandates in school and how his child was getting murdered because of the masks, and he was dragged away from there, and got a fine. He wanted to protest again, and was allowed to do so far away from the school area, and decided to use a megaphone to spread bullshit again, and request his child to be "disobedient against his murderers". So after the court case was done, he ranted on the internet how "they took my child away from me", and refused to take responsibility for his actions, and just kept on believing there was a dark conspiracy happening against men, while he was just batshit crazy. Recently he, and some other conspiracy theorists were put in jail for all the bullshit they had been posting, damaging several people's lives severely, and another one of those deeper stories was done because some people were worried how someone was capable of having such a high sentence imposed "for just spreading disinformation on the internet". They made a whole timeline from the beginning of this person starting to derail, and it turned out that his conspiracy theory-beliefs were not the beginning, though in the beginning of it those beliefs had got him into an altercation with his wife 2 times (physical abuse). He was arrested several times for violating pandemic rules, each of which he strongly contested with him providing his own defense in court (which angered the judge because of how laughingly poor and misguided it was, causing the case to be a big time-waster), he was mandated to not spread lies about a "satanic pedophile-ring" anymore, and immediately did so right after getting out of court where an officer immediately arrested him for doing explicitly what he just had been told to stop doing. In 2023 there was a massive disinformation campaign created about a comprehensive sexual educational lesson package, and he posted messages on the internet to burn down the school of his children if they went through with the lessons on sexual education. It was almost impossible to imagine someone still not having gotten back to their senses and feeling some sense of responsibility for how they were the problem and not other people after all that went down with them... And in a way it was also sad to see just how powerful big technology companies and their algorithms are to plunge some people into a pool of lies and nonsense, and have them believe it because the algorithm keeps pushing more extreme stuff...

My sister lost custody of her daughter to her ex husband despite him having a very bad record and no relationship with his daughter. When men seek custody, they often get it.

when i was 13, i had a metal pipe in my bedroom that we had never found the other end to. i hated brushing my teeth (big autism moment lmao) so each night i would steal everyone's toothbrush and jam them down said pipe. i did that for WEEKS until a cute girl on my bus said the plaque on my teeth was nasty. years later i found out my mom wholeheartedly believed a ghost was stealing the toothbrushes because "none of my kids would be smart enough to take all the toothbrushes instead of just theirs". apparently that was more believable than a child using critical thinking skills

@@cactus2260 she's one of those people that say shit that contradicts to sound so profound

Yes! Thank you! Exactly how I feel. If anything, it confuses children more when you tell them "there are these two strict, rigid, arbitrary categories that you exist in based off a pretty perverted factor of your biology to base it off,". I had a friend whose daughter asked me why I had short hair, and if I was a boy or a girl. She was so sweet and innocent, and I wanted to explain the objective truth to her and her mother interrupt with "don't tell her that gender non-sense, I don't want her turning around to me at 14, saying "mum, I'm a non-binary" ,". I just looked like "and if ____ does turn out to actually be a they/them?" Didn't say it, cause her husband went off saying "what gender BS are you trying to teach my daughter?!". Like geez, why are you guys so staunch about strictly categorising your children based off their genitals? It's so perverted!

Wtf I saw a child transition at the age of a toddler so that's ok now ??

@MiaThenerd-wy3xo. Transitioning is something that people do after a lot of reflecting and figuring out shit(coming from someone who is trans themselves), I’m pretty sure at the age of 3 the journey of discovery(whether that is gender or figuring out something else about you like what kind of person are you) would start at that age- so chances of seeing a 3 year old having figured out and ton of shit and deciding to transition(Note: being trans ISN’T a choice, but transition is, whether social or medically) are microscopic, unless you’re referring to social transition, in which case-yes it would be ok because if a child asks you to call them a different name(a notable yet not universal form of social transitioning) then there would be nothing wrong with doing it as long as it makes them happy.

@@professorfoxtrot pathetic gaslight; invalid move. laughable

Telling children that trans people exist isn’t gonna “influence them” into being trans. Yk what *will* influence them? Their parents showing them that being cis-het is the only option for identity and if they feel another way they’re abnormal.

I think it's fair to be annoyed by her tone because it's something she has control over and she is definitely trying to be condescending.

I know some sad cases not from the us

@@Ashton8844 @Ashton : Your anecdotal "evidence" doesn't prove anything, because it's a fallacy. The reason your mom got you instead of your dad, is because your ad didn't make it clear that he wanted you with him. That's the truth. Statistics prove that whenever fathers tell judges that they want to at least partially raise his child(ren), they get at least 50%. If your father didn't get you, it's either because the jury / judge didn't see him fit to raise kid(s) by himself, or it's because your father didn't want you. Sorry bud.

​@07Flash11MRC You can't assume why the judge made that decision I agree that anecdotal evidence doesn't prove that all judges favor women But you also can't assume that it NEVER happens And deny that it does when someone is telling you that's what happened Because it DOES happen. Because of the idea that men can't raise kids. My mom was abusive to my dad AND my siblings and I And she got NO repercussions for that. The judge saw my dad's file and saw there was abuse And IMMEDIATELY assumed my dad was the abuser When he was the one being abused. Men aren't taken seriously VERY often when it comes to getting custody or being abused in court. It is a genuine problem. And just because often times the dad genuinely just doesn't make an effort doesn't mean they never do and yet they often still lose custody.

@@mainacc7624 @mainiacc : Your entire argument is based on fallacies, all the way from straw-men to complete lies. I'll forgive you, because you're obviously just a confused kids, but I won't engage with people like you, who put words in my mouth and lack reading comprehension skills. Again, your anedotal "evidence" doesn't disprove any statistics out there. What I said is the empirical conclusion of decades of research by scientist in those fields.

Unless they are unfit. I raise an autistic child and her father tried to fight me for custody. He’s not unhealthy, but he just works part time at a grocery store and can’t drive yet, he’s 28. So when he tried to fight me in court, all he got was supervised time. And he has no criminal record but I do, I still won.

If kids can understand the difference between a boy and a girl then they can understand sometimes people don't fit into that perfectly. It's not a complicated or confusing topic. I feel like the problem is people like her *weren't* taught about it and refuse to learn about it now, so they are projecting their own confusion. If they had been taught about trans people when they were younger maybe they wouldn't find it such an overwhelming and earth-shattering topic.

It’s so annoying because why is it okay to hide LGBT+ from kids but not _other_ communities that are different? What about different cultures and religions? Are you gonna prevent your kids from learning about them just so your children isn’t “confused” about something that’s different?

Wish I had that. Would have spent a lot less time being confused. Instead I was 12 and only learned it was a thing because my friend came out as nb. My entire thought process was basically "ok. That works. WAIT A MINUTE THATS ME TOO"

I wasn't really aware of the community as a kid but I do remember knowing that gay people exist. It's just I don't remember how Iearned it. But I do remember my Barbies kissing, once I got two Kens I got them to kiss too, or the Barbie I turned into Ken because I had no Ken at skme point. It's just that I knew way more my parents thought I did.

The way you acted as a child reminds me of the stories I heard about my mom. I'm glad you were a smart enough kid to understand adults aren't always right! I think that if we listened to people like you more and cared about the well-being of ourselves and each other above all else that the world would be a MUCH nicer place. Keep being you!

If teachers could make the kids do anything, surely they would use those powers to make the kids not shitty during class. They often can’t do that, what makes them think they have enough power to “trans” kids?

Scientifically speaking, you're not going to convince a mentally/emotionally stable child that they are a caterpillar.

It's nice to see other ace people's stories. I never would have known i was queer unless i had learned about it myself, my parents aren't against it completely, but they also would rather their kids be cishet because its 'easier' than having to go out of their way to accept sexualities other than gay, straight, bi, etc. I never even knew that i was different until i found out about asexuality and started seeing other people talk about it. That knowledge helped me realize that i wasn't stunted in my growth or immature, i was just a little different and i felt so happy knowing others were like me.

It sounds like you aren't putting too much pressure on yourself and seeing younger people with that mentality makes me very happy. You deserve to give yourself that kindness!

My sister grew up alongside our cousin who is my sister's age so he's like an older brother to me and like a brother to my sister. My sister knew he was gay from the time he came out when they were both only 12. My sister still spent nights with him, visited him often, and was really close to him and she's still cis and straight. I learned what being gay was at 8 years old and I literally just said okay and went back to playing or watching TV. It didn't make me question anything because I didn't start thinking about it until my teenage years. It's ridiculous that some people act like all kids will all of a sudden start identifying as pansexual and gender fluid the second they learn that gay people exist.

“You’ll confuse them.” What about when some middle schooler has a crush on their same gendered friend, and they start to hate themself and think their’s something “wrong with them” because they don’t fit into the extremely strict category that you told them was the only option.

@@professorfoxtrot How is kiwi disrespecting women of colour

As a trainee teacher we were told that we could not tell children that we would keep a secret for them. Apparently this was to keep their trust. I was abused as a child, I would have loved to have been able to confide in a teacher about what was going on at home and I would have been far better off if they had lied to me and then dealt with the matter afterwards. It's different if it's about gender or sexuality or something to do with them but if children are in danger they will not open up if they think they will get into trouble but kids in danger need to be able to tell people.

I’ve heard so many stories about parents revoking their kid’s right to see a mental health professional because their grades didn’t approve (implying that their grades were bad because of their mental state which is normal). It’s so annoying because A. Getting to a better mental state takes a lot of time B. You’re paying for a therapist, not a tutor

I had the same thought. I have never had a single class ( nor has my middle school child) that only uses/ primarily uses multiple choice. I’m super curious where this idea comes from, because this is definitely not the first time I’ve heard this from our friends across the pond.

​@@jennifergoodman7464I've heard it a lot from British people. Not sure where it came from. Maybe from standardized testing, which isn't used for grading? Anyway, as much as our school system sucks in some ways, and it may even have more multiple choice testing in some states, overall I don't think that's one of our issues.

I agree. The U.S. education system is very flawed, but that is a weird misconception... I could go on about that in depth but to keep it simple, schools in the US are very inconsistent and it really depends on the school and teachers and materials available, etc. I live abroad and teach in Germany and I have my own doubt about some things here but that's just not true.

It was so funny to hear her say that because I was visiting my mom's old coworker and her kids today and my mom, her friend, and one of the kids are all teachers, and they brought up how it is so woman-dominated. They all seemed upset about it saying, it would be nice to have men around, isn't it weird that more men don't work in schools. (There was an anecdote brought up that my mom's friend had once worked at a school who's entire staff, from custodians to kindergarten to Superintendent were all women.) They were all suggesting it would be better to have a mix of genders teaching and being involved, so any side-eye, at least from my small corner of the world, is not coming from fellow teachers or people studying education. It's like Kiwi said, an outside judgement.

That's probably because kids don't typically have much of a sense of their sexuality until puberty. They might have a sort of romanticized idea of what they want, but it will start to become clearer around 9-16 depending on the kid. I didn't even think about it in realistic terms until I was like 11 and I had had "crushes" and "romantic fantasies" for a few years before that. And even then it took until I was 19 before I was actually ready to figure things out for real. That slow questioning, learning, experimenting, and growing is the natural progression. If you tell a kid gay people exist and they immediately make that sexual, it is time to take them to a doctor and a therapist and maybe involve the authorities. That should not be confusing or even fully real to a child. If they talk about dating or kissing, that's perfectly normal. It's part of learning about the world around them!

As a cis woman, I’ve never questioned my gender either.

That's awful. I go to a private liberal arts college and they are usually much freer and more relaxed with testing, but we still have the occasional intense exam and it is always a struggle. (I take a long time on some types of tests, but never bothered to get an iep or anything, so it comes up sometimes). I would hate to be in your position.

Im in eighth grade so I cant really relate to highschool or college courses, however, I am in all advanced classes. And Ive had teat anxiety ever since I was put into public school. Whenever I take tests, I feel the world spinning, I start fidgeting, feeling like I need to throw up, cracking my fingers, bith of my legs shaking uncontrallably, etc. I really just hate tests in general, lol. I feel like I can't put forth and express my full potential within the strict regulations that these tests require.

We had this joke between my friend groups that people assume we weren’t socialized, but our schooled friends got in trouble for socializing

As a former homeschool I agree where I'm from there's a lot of homeschool families so there are a lot of co-ops, clubs and events for in the community for homeschoolers As a neurodivergent I would have never made it through school and isn't socially during the class time like the first thing you get in trouble for? Just because you're forced to spend hours all day in a classroom with other bodies doesn't mean you will like anyone or anyone else will like you and make friends or having any meaningful connection with others

Tbh though, you're the exception to the statistical norm that most kids when homeschooled are not as socialized compared to ones that are in school. Also, this depends on how your parent homeschools you so a right-winger could easily shut off any chance of that child actually understanding the outside world and become brainwashed. Maybe instead of home-schooling, we change the structure and form of how public schooling is done.

​@@BeastiezCyZhon I'm well aware of right wingers who do this shit and other shitty people who only homeschool their children only to abuse and control And should have never been parents at all I know I'm the expectation and my experience proves just that that their are good experiences with homeschooling and people need to know to break the negative stigma people have and see the possibilities I think both home schooling and public schools need a serious reformation

​@@diamondgirl698 I really don't mind homeschooling, but I honestly think that if you do homeschool, there needs to be check ins with the child. Like, you have to take your child in each month or so to see a doctor for a check up, or case workers/teachers should be allowed to review the curriculum (provide advice) and check in with the child at home. There so much freedom in homeschooling, that when my State started their stupid voucher tickets to give to parents who home school, those parents immediately started buying Disney tickets, trampolines, toys, and games all claiming it was "for education". Millions of taxpayers money (not the parents money), wasted with no consequences.

LMAOOO

what about my female rappers?

They had us in the first half not gonna lie

Ahaha wow. Was ready to angrily reply. You got me.

Biscuit should be eaten.

@@professorfoxtrot WHAT DID THE DOG DO

Let’s be honest, men aren’t getting the side eye in jobs involving caretaking because of gender expectations, they’re getting the side eye because of how many men have used those positions to prey on other people. I’m sure we’re all familiar with stories of male teachers abusing their power to behave inappropriately with their students? How about male doctors or nurses preying on female patients? Of course I don’t think this is 100% the fault of all men, and I acknowledge female predators also exist, but there’s still a HUGE problem there that often goes unaddressed. I don’t think it’s fair to say sexism is the sole reason why people exhibit this particular behavior when there’s more to the story, and a large part of it is men ignoring the predatory behavior of other men.

Thank you. As someone who worked in caretaking and wants to get into education, that passage irked the shit out of me. To say women don’t partake into discouraging men from joining female-dominated fields is just a straight up lie.
