that’s what I don’t get, I’m not talking about gender essentialist maga, I’m talking about people who I thought were like at least left of centre educated people.
In some places it’s fuckin crazy how much emphasis people put on having a boy. Was reading an essay from a kid for work where they mentioned their family immigrated to America mostly because their grandparent refused to give land to her father because they had a girl, instead giving it to their cousin who had a boy. Imagine changing the fate of your son’s family over the sex of the kid he had?
I have 2 daughters, was surprised by how many people (whom I assumed weren’t weirdos), gave me condolences for not having a boy…
Told them they could still come out as boys, it shut them up.
I lost respect for the people who responded as if that would be a bad thing.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
I’m so sorry you had to deal with such people, holy shit. This is waay beyond okay. Holy shit, wtf is wrong with people??
