Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Thank you my friend. It certainly wasn't easy. But I was in therapy for other stuff already and that gave me a safe space to explore it.
Yeah I can still remember years ago my daughter getting really upset because she wanted a robot but it was in with the boys toys.
It's not the easiest thing to explain to a child when the stereotypes are forced down their throat by TV and older family members.
Luckily the media (some elements anyway) are getting much better and breaking that divide now.
I temporarily ended my exodus from American entertainment media a couple years ago to watch Steven Universe and I couldn't imagine such a show existing when I was a child. I can definitely agree that they've gotten better about gender stuff and emotional intelligence.
