Was there something that during your childhood other adults made you believe? I got two things:

1. They (uncles and mom) made me believe that BEAR GRYLLS was Sportacus, my clown ass believed that for years when the show isn't even american 😭🤡

2. My aunt once told me that if I ever dared to sleep alone, some goblins were gonna kidnap me in the middle of the night and this fear stayed with me until I was 13 at least (thanks, auntie...)

Sheesh that's wild, not the goblins omg 😭

I racked my brain for a bit but I can't think of anything any adults made me believe as a kid, except maybe lettingme believe in magic for a while. I didn't grow up in a Christian household so there were no tales of Santa or the Easter Bunny for me.

Your responses have me curious now: what things did everyone else's adults make them believe as kids?

When I was a child I thought the lyrics were, "Play that fucking music, white boy." And I just figured the singer was rather aggressive or something.

She be firelord, redemption path problematic bae, philosopher queen

The thing about Zuko and Sokka that really drew me to them as a kid was that they both seemed to be like struggling with manhood and just being like “this doesn’t make any sense,” and so delving so deeply into the respective masculine behaviors they do understand: brooding and mansplaining lol.

I watched Zuko try to make lightning and knew deep in my heart that neither he nor I need to learn how to make lightning, just how to redirect it, but not knowing quite what that meant for me, sitting in the living room in the real world, not knowing why I felt so alienated, estranged, so *in exile* from the world around me. Ultimately, of course, I was not a fire nation exile living in the earth kingdom (although I am American…), I was a trans girl. And transness, while beautiful and valuable, is a kind of ill fortune in a world that reviles it so much. To be cis is to, in one instance at least, be lucky.

But I don’t need luck. I don’t want it. I’ve always had to struggle and fight and that’s made me strong. It’s made me who I am

You know I was thinking recently, and I'm 90% sure Amy's Barbie from the end of Toy Story 2 is where my interest/love for Weird Barbies started. TS2 is also what probably helped fuel my interest in dolls, since I watched it on repeat A LOT as a kid.

"He loved you."

No, he loved to abuse me.

He loved to control me.

He loved to build me up to break me.

He did not love me, he loved to hurt me.

I wasn't his favorite child, I was his favorite victim.

I remember as a child my friend asked me once about my father, and I remember thinking to myself: Father? I never felt that I needed one, my family never felt incomplete. My mother filled every gap within me. For this reason, though there were not many to mention, I hated every man she brought home. What could they offer but heartache and wounds that would never heal? And indeed they always did.

I hate thinking about this.#oh to be a woman and shudder at the thought of what I once was #childhood #words #cringe #my mother was a superhero. and I was a fool #but I loved my best friend’s dad. he was so family and he would always tell us jokes. make us laugh.#he’d buy us slurpees and pizza.#I tried to trick myself into pretending that i didn’t want one #but secretly I wished he were mine. I new my best friend wouldn’t mind if we shared.

When I was a kid I didn't understand the concept of languages and I just assumed that everyone thought they were speaking English but their were wrong so they heard their speech as English and mine as not English.

When I was a kid, before I saw “The Princess Diaries”, I thought her name was Princess Diaries. Like there was Princess Diana and she was Princess Diaries.

Sometimes I catch myself still believing that if I pray hard enough, things are going to be alright.

i have a teddy bear that ive had since i was four years old. my bear's name is Ted and i have always been bothered by my parents saying "here she is" when handing me Ted. as far back as i can remember, i never used gendered pronouns regarding Ted and have always just referred to Ted as Ted.

now i think confusion arose when i got a much smaller teddy bear and started to swaddle the two together. and the aptly named Lil Ted became Ted's baby.

Lil Ted lives in the collar of Ted's tank top, and they're always swaddled together on my bed in the same pillow and blanket for 20+ years.

at some point when pressed about it, i did start referring to Ted as "he" but only in reference to "his baby Lil Ted" and that's the only time either one of my bears get a gender specific pronoun.

and im starting to wonder if this was just something much deeper. because when i got a car, my mom was quick to refer to my car as "she" and i said "my car is not a girl" so she assumed i wanted to call my car as "he" but i just say "my car"

like. i dont know if its abnormal to not gender your items? because so many people refer to their toys, cars, electronics as "he" or "she" and it makes me feel self-conscious that i dont follow the supposed normality of gendering your things..

i just wonder if i can find some information or people that feel the same as i do about it lol

#gender thoughts #pronouns #pronoun thoughts #childhood thoughts #i honestly dont know where to look #because most studies i read have children gendering toys like bears and rabbits very quickly #and also the names of the animals are so on the nose its adorable
