minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink87•edit-22 months agoThis is my greatest anxiety about the chance of having a gay child. I mean, alongside the systemic oppression they will face. But also, I’m both afraid I’ll make this joke and regret it. And also afraid I’ll pass on the chance to make this joke and regret it. Plus the systemic oppression thing. That too.
