I’m a cis white male with hair long enough to ponytail. Playing with my daughter at the park, a little one asked me if I was her mom or dad. When I told her that I was her father, she asked me why I had a ponytail. Without missing a beat I responded with “because my hair is long.” Little girl thought for a moment, put on a “yeah, that makes sense” look, and went about to go play.
They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.

That’s an adorable answer
The next question I’d expect from a little kid would be “why is your hair long?”.
And another why, and another, and another…
As a dude with hair past my shoulders, the answer is that it looks fly AF
My niece saw my earrings and asked “if you’re a boy why do you have earrings?” (They are from a very conservative upbringing).
I simply asked, “Well do you like them?” and of course she said “Yeah!”
“That’s why, because they’re awesome.”
Huh, TIL

When snails copulate, two penises enter two vaginal tracts. Both snails in a pairing transfer sperm, but whichever snail got in the best shot with the dart has a better chance of ultimately fertilizing eggs.
First they stab eachother. The better the stab, the more effective the stabber’s sperm will be. Then they exchange fluids. Then they settle down, buy a minivan, and waste away in an office until they die.
its like flatworms, they do the same. i think earthworms and relatives are more mutual, they fertilize each other at the same time without fighting.
They’re snails, they are the minivans.
for tons of parasites.
It’s 2025. Even snails are renting their homes these days.
Unless they’re… (pause) … disco snails! 🐌🕺

That reminds me of this sweet old love song by an old cowboy band.
[Outro]
Criticize what you wreck
We’re fucking you back
Fucking you back
Don’t fucking compare yourself to snails unless you can stab your lovers with spears from your own body.
At best, you’re a clown fish or a frog.
I can stab lovers with a spear from my body. Also: my spear could use a polishing… Where’s that Argonian maid?
Cone Snail!
Kids fucking get it
Until it is abused out of them, on Sundays, at a special building.
I went to church and sunday school for years and they never mentioned homosexuality. Or sexuality really.
I grew up in the Bible Belt and churches in my hometown would put up homophobic messages on those outdoor notice boards that you see as you drive by. Not every single one, but not none of them, either. This was going on until the late 2000s at least, I’ve heard it’s marginally improved.
Well that’s rather disgusting
Yeah, it’s the parents. Their views are passed on with every minute in the household. Children absorb.
No way - shame begins at home:-D.
I don’t know where the adorably precocious children in this screenshot are purported to come from. Every kid I’ve ever met who questions me about my gender has been an argumentative little shit that wants to make a point out of not believing me.
I only interact with kids who don’t have shitty parents
It’s not shitty parenting. Kids at a certain age just don’t take correction from people who they don’t feel have a right to correct them. Sometimes that person is no one. My kid refuses to believe the sun is not a planet. She will argue until she’s blue in the face. She has argued that she’s a boy. Later that she’s a girl. She misgendered people all the time and wasn’t open to correction from anyone including me for a while. You think, “call people what they want to be called” is an easy lesson to teach. It is not. It took over a year to make it stick. Kids are just dicks sometimes.
God, this explains SO MUCH about snails.
I told u that, snails are hermafrodites.
