    As a trans woman that played with Barbie’s in secret as a kid…

    We can acknowledge that stereotyping toys is dumb, while also acknowledging that kids like me knew those stereotypes, and did it anyways not knowing why.

    It’s great to point out its stupid. But is comes really fucking close to denying trans people the signs they were trans young, even we didn’t even know it.













  • You say thats not valid criticism, but yet I can’t think of another language that has a debate over semicolons.

    Maybe that’s just me not be exposed in my career to more ones like that, and there are still petty squables in every language yes.

    But the fact you have to have the second paragraph, and defend it, is the problem your replying to. something so core to a language like line ending syntax, is figured out in all other laugauges. You don’t have to mentally be prepared to unfril that layer of syntax.
