I always feel like kids who cannot explore and discover themselves are painted into a corner, and the natural curiosities become forbidden obsessions. That’s not to say conservative parents have more gay or trans kids, but that when their kids are gay or trans, it becomes a much larger part of their personality, either in rebellion on in self-loathing. Everybody exists on a spectrum, and nobody is just one thing, but people who pretend the world is binary and demand conformity leave no room for nuance or ambiguity.
oh, for sure. i’m just saying, we will all turn out largely the same way regardless of who birthed us. we just need to be a good society and take care of each other.
