Fox News is now claiming that young people are identifying as seasons. They made it up.

I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I've known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!
(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)
This is from a video that the Fox story is about. Fox totally missed the point, I’m guessing intentionally so.
But can we talk about that statement for a second? (I’m leftist af and I strongly believe trans people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want, just like everybody else; this has nothing to do with that.) I’m having a hard time accepting this statement.
I would obviously never support the misogynistic belief that women should (only) wear skirts/dresses. But as it turns out, the idea that dresses and long hair are inherently feminine (or that shorts and short hair are inherently masculine) also makes me uncomfortable. I recognize that a lot of people see it that way, but I don’t think that makes it right, or a belief that should continue to propagate.
I’m a dude, and I hope to see a day where I can grow out my hair and wear a dress without people assuming it means anything about me beyond that I like dresses and long hair.
(Please let me know if this is insensitive and I will remove my comment. I’m not interested in starting an unproductive or hateful discussion here)
Are you responding to me, or just the story in general? I basically agree with you entirely and don't have much to add to what you just said.
Well, except that long hair and long skirt-like clothing items were worn by men for hundreds of years; look at almost any painting from the middle ages lol
This sounds like a person who’s non-binary and trying to explain it to someone who isn’t.
Unfortunately fox news doesn’t want to understand. They want to mock and bulky.
Did they personify their season/month?
Not really, no. lol
