There is a very difficult line to walk between "Children aren't done maturing and you can't hold them too responsible for the dumb things they say and do" and "Part of being taken seriously is facing consequences when you say or do dumb things"

It's patronizing and ageist to dismiss someone's thoughts and beliefs only due to their age, but it's unfair to hold undeveloped children to the same standards of behavior we hold adults.

So when do you stop treating them like children that don't know any better and start treating them like adults that are wrong? When they demand respect? When they enter adult discussions? When they hit the age of 18?

I don't have a simple answer, and frankly I shouldn't. It's not a simple problem. It's just something I think we all need to keep in mind as we share spaces.

And to any kid/teen reading this: You have dumb ideas about how the world works and how it should work because you're new to it. You have good ideas about how the world works and how it should work because you live in it. You cannot tell the difference right now. You will eventually learn better, but right now you can't.

Understand not all push back you receive from adults is because they think you're a dumb kid. Sometimes you are just dumb.

If you want to be treated like an adult when you're right, you will be treated like an adult when you're wrong.

an accomplice turned victim his apology, long overdue

I need to say something and I need y'all to be calm

if it isn't actively bad or harmful, no representation should be called "too simple" or "too surface level"

I have a whole argument for this about the barbie movie but today I wanna talk about a show called "the babysitters club" on Netflix

(obligatory disclaimer that I watched only two episodes of this show so if it's super problematic I'm sorry) (yes. I know it's based on a book, this is about the show)

this is a silly 8+ show that my 9 year old sister is watching and it manages to tackle so many complex topics in such an easy way. basic premise is these 13 year old girls have a babysitting agency.

in one episode, a girl babysits this transfem kid. the approach is super simple, with the kid saying stuff like "oh no, those are my old boy clothes, these are my girl clothes". they have to go to the doctor and everyone is calling the kid by her dead name and using he/him and this 13 year old snaps at like a group of doctors and they all listen to her. it's pure fantasy and any person versed in trans theory would point out a bunch of mistakes.

but after watching this episode, my little sister started switching to my name instead of my dead name and intercalating he/him pronouns when talking about me.

one of the 13 years old is a diabetic and sometimes her whole personality is taken over by that. but she has this episode where she pushes herself to her limit and passes out and talks about being in a coma for a while because of not recognizing the limits of her disability.

and this allowed my 9 year old sister to understand me better when I say "I really want to play with you but right now my body physically can't do that" (I'm disabled). she has even asked me why I'm pushing myself, why I'm not using my crutches when I complain about pain.

my mom is 50 years old and watching this show with my sister. she said the episode about the diabetic girl helped her understand me and my disability better. she grew up disabled as well, but she was taught to shut up and power through.

yes, silly simple representation can annoy you if you've read thousands of pages about queer liberation or disability radical thought, but sometimes things are not for you.
