Hi, I’m @rosedommu — a writer, trans woman, and former baby-sitter (those Evanescence CDs weren’t going to pay for themselves!) who NEEDS to talk about episode four of The Baby-Sitters Club and why its depiction of a young trans girl made me cry happy tears

What this episode ultimately gives me is hope. It illustrates what was articulated so perfectly in
@Disclosure_Doc: You can’t be what you can’t see. Imagine the young trans children who are going to watch this & see a version of themselves who is actualized, supported, and HAPPY.Show this thread -
In the real world, trans people are in real danger: https://www.glaad.org/transgender/transfaq … That’s why it is so important that we listen to and trust trans kids while also building a kinder world for them to grow up in.

So, we have no choice but to stan The Baby-Sitters Club, our unproblematic queens and queer allies. And more importantly: stan Bailey and all the very real children like her who know who they are. THAT is tea.pic.twitter.com/JrvggtGvky

Even as a full-blown adult who thought I'd be able to shrug off misgendering, after coming out, I was shocked at how bad this hit me. Your stomach drops. Internally, you plead and wonder what went wrong and vow to "do better" to stop it happening again, but you don't know how.

This is such an important point, it’s not people looking to be outraged, it’s people being shocked at how hard a simple word can hit them and asking society to have some empathy and do the right thing: lets be nice to each other.

Being misgendered is the point, when you derive meaning in life through victimhood.
