It's okay to be good. Oh, this is gonna be good. Welcome to Queer Kid Stuff. Come again? Welcome to Queer Kid Stuff. Queer Kid Stuff. Okay, something about this title is out of place. Not the word queer, this is quite strange, but the childlike nature and the kid part of the title tend to lead me to think that this show is oriented towards little toddlers. And like your song said, it's okay to be gay. We gotta laugh at that shit, man. I'm Lindsay and this is my best friend Teddy. And today we're gonna talk about gender. You know what kids really don't need to worry about at an extremely young age? Sexual orientation. Lindsay? Yes, Teddy? You're a girl, right? That's right. Why do you ask? Yeah, Pat called. He wants his everything back. Well, you have short hair and you're wearing a tie. I thought only boys have short hair and wear ties. And it's Terry Yolk, what type? But seriously, it's not that Lindsay has short hair and a tie that would inherently mark her as a male, but she tends to have somewhat masculine features. But coming from the perspective of a child who will have a simpler understanding and a smaller grasp on things, just address the question and you're good, right? You make a really good point, Teddy. But just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't wear those things too or anything else that I want to wear. Agreed, not a problem. But buy and be wear. If you look somewhat and drudgenous and by clothing that is typically worn by the opposite sex, don't be surprised if you at least confuse the child. You should wear whatever clothes make you feel like the best version of yourself. It's the same for colors and toys too. You can like whatever color or toy that makes you happy. But Lindsay, I still don't know if I'm a boy or a girl. Well, Teddy, you see, there are two distinctive sets of genitalia. Well, Teddy, did you know that some people aren't boys or girls? Some people are also paranoid to get to Phoenix, but I'm not going to let them take me to the gun range for target practice. Are you about to bitch slap science in the face? Some people are boys, some people are girls, and some people are people. People as people are things stuff, and if they are, does that make stuff things? Are you trying to educate children or are you trying to make me to box a crayon? There are also people who are trans or transgender. People who are trans do not identify with the gender doctors tell them they are when they are born. So I did a little digging on gender dysphoria, and I'll be the first to admit, I know little to nothing on the subject, but here's the gist of what I read. Gender dysphoria is the strong, persistent feeling of identification of the opposite gender. People with gender dysphoria have strong feelings of distress or impairment, and in some extreme cases may result to genital medilation. Most people with gender dysphoria show symptoms at an early age, but it seems to not be a mental deficiency, and hormonal influence in the womb may be the cause. Look, I think that we could all agree that mother nature tends to fuck up every now and then, and personally, I'm not gonna tell you what to do with your privates, but I would think it'd be best to at least wait for puberty, and your brain to develop before you go through with any serious life changing operation or hormone treatments. But like I said, I'm very new to the subject, and if any transgender person would like to give me any kind of insight, that'd be cool. That'd be cool, that'd be great. Let me know. If there are boys and girls and people, and all of them can wear ties and dresses, then how can I tell who is what gender? That's actually really easy, Teddy. All you have to do is ask someone what their pronoun is. A pronoun is the word you use to talk about someone when you don't use their name, like he, for boy, she, for girl, and some people use they. Yeah, it's one thing to hold a weird, pre-pubescent online gender studies class, but now you play it on straight up lying to children about pronoun usage. Kids are fucking up the English language bad enough right now, they don't need an extra hand. All it takes is one example to show you how stupid it is to use they to identify one person. Hey, where is everybody? Oh, you mean Tim, Tom, and Shirley? Yeah, where'd they go? Well, Tim, Tom, and Shirley went to the bar, but they will be home soon. Okay, well, with Tim, Tom, and not, no, no, no, no, just Tom. Okay. Um, well, when, are they, uh, when, when are the rest of them coming back? Well, I don't know, they're supposed to give us a call soon. Tom, no, Tim and Shirley dumbass. You see the problem here, Lindsay? It's okay to be crazy. We are different in many ways. Some girls are boys. Some girls are people here at Queer Kids.
