I live in a small town, not much happens here and I’ve been content just living the simple life. Last Christmass we had a family gathering and my nephew (12, whom I haven’t seen for a few years) was wearing a dress, long hair, nails painted etc. I found it amusing and cute, but then he started asking me to refer to him as her because he’s a girl. With a new name and all. Long story short, later on I brought this up and we all had a discussion with my sister, her husband and other relatives. We talked alot about they/them pronouns.
I have heard about the them/they stuff in passing but never really paid it to much attention. But since Christmas I’ve been dusting off a few old social media accounts of mine which I haven’t used for years now and looking through the posts. Loads of celebrities kids saying they’re trans or gender fluid, loads of short videos about it. Some seem completely far fetched, but I’m willing to say I may be ignorant in this matter. I’m finding it hard to distinguish between what is actually legit and what seems to be trolls, to me.
Any book recommendations to help me understand this a bit more? I’d like to hear both sides of the arguments and come up with my own view. Which at the moment may be skewed…
I was brought and taught that some stuff are fixed. Like red will always be red, and purple will always be purple. Men are men, and woman are woman. This isn’t up for debate.
Or so I thought…
Any recommendations?
