OH
today
at the bookstore
i went to wrap a present
and you have to ask if it's for a boy or a girl
bc they're heteronormative
and FINALLY
(i've been waiting for this to happen)
the woman was like, "she's gender-neutral"
9:05pmKaden
but she said "she"
9:05pmChristina
well yeah
it's the grandma
9:05pmKaden
oh
cute
9:05pmChristina
yeah i thought so
and then she was telling me how hard it is to shop for a gender-neutral grandchild
but she was really supportive of the whole thing
and i was like "i went to smith. so i understand"
9:06pmKaden
aw
9:06pmChristina
but then i told her i thought i should still be able to use pink or blue if i wanted bc it shouldn't matter -- like, why do colors have to be gendered?
i mean, i used purple and teal
i did red wrapping w/ purple ribbon and gold w/ teal
9:07pmKaden
good job
9:07pmChristina
but i was thinking, i also shouldn't be restricted from using blue or pink or ballerina or baseball stickers
i mean, just because they're gender neutral doesn't mean they can only have fish or tiger stickers
but i used fish and tigers anyway
just to be safe
9:08pmKaden
fish and tigers are way cooler than ballerinas and baseball anyway
9:09pmChristina
i suppose, seeing as it's "a girl," i could've put baseballs and trucks just to stir things up
omg
i just realized
the reason i suck at taking care of my car
is because no one ever put truck stickers on my presents
i have been taught to be scared of vehicles
Kaden
i dont think that's true
9:12pmChristina
i think it is
i have never been interested in cars
bc i was brainwashed
