Sparkle Unicorns And Fart Ninjas: What Parents Can Do About Gendered Toys

With Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty On One Side And Bulbous-headed Fart Ninjas On The Other, The Gender

With Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty on one side and bulbous-headed Fart Ninjas on the other, the gender divide was impossible to avoid at the North American International Toy Fair in New York City back in February.

The light-up Barbie mermaids vying for space with Gatling-style foam-dart blasters in Manhattan’s Javits Center raised a question: Have toys really progressed since our grandparents’ days? And how do the toys we play with shape the people we grow up to be?

it was at this same time of night three years ago that the pulse massacre took place in orlando, so please take some time today to remember and mourn for the 49 primarily latine lgbt people who were murdered that night. And don’t let anyone brush aside the fact that one of the deadliest mass shootings in american history was against the gay community 

here’s a link to an article remembering the lives of all 49 victims as well as a link where you can donate to the fund to turn the sight of the nightclub into a permanent memorial

I don't know who needs to hear this today but there's nothing wrong with liking someone the same gender as you. You're not predatory for having emotions and I'm so proud of you. You're wonderful.

I Got My Son A Book Called ‘jack, Not Jackie’.

I got my son a book called ‘jack, not jackie’.

Its about this little boy whose sister is intent to label him as a girl. She eventually realizes that regardless of what she calls him he is still the same person as before.

I don’t know if my son might one day be my daughter. But i want him to know its always okay to wear his princess dresses.

i think the only thing wrong with some of us is that we’re being robbed of traditional jobs like woodworking artisans and witch doctors and being forced to like… write a cv and breathe stale air conditioner air when we should be barefoot hauling oranges from an orchard…
