Guess that must make me someone the Wall People approve of then? Omfg it's crazy I constantly just have random kids come up to me and just chill with me. Just randomly at Doctor's offices, grocery stores, waiting outside my kids' schools, sitting at the park, basically anywhere. It's like that scene in the Santa Clause where Scott's just starting to turn and kids start coming up to him to tell him what they want for Christmas just... obviously less exaggerated.
It gets awkward sometimes because I'm 6'2" tall, built like a fridge cosplaying Bigfoot, and look very male. Despite being nonbinary and asexual, I'm very aware that I look exactly like the kind of person that people think shouldn't be around children. I dreamed of going into like childcare for a career, even had a little baby doll I'd take care of while my Mom took care of my baby brother doing things I couldn't help her with.
But between my Dad "not wanting (me) to grow up to be some kind of f(slur)," and thus getting rid of the doll the first chance he could, and learning very quickly the hostility the world has to amab people caring for young kids, I didn't have that career ambition for long.
God, it's remarkable how similar that is to me. I'm not ace, and I'm only NB in secret, but holy shit. Same. My dad's reaction was less awful, though
My Mom couldn't believe how mad he was about the doll thing too. As if it was completely impossible for me to... I don't know... be a father one day and take care of a baby or anything. But he waited for a family we were acquainted with to have lost their things in a house fire and convinced me to give it to their little girl who lost all her toys.
Of course I was too young to actually remember this whole thing, But he was definitely a big part of the reason that I joke that I'm nonbinary because I got fired for incompetence from being male lmao.
Ha! I love that joke at the end.
It is tough being AMAB and loving the caring aspects of life. It's as if the world sees you as a predator, and inside you're just wanting to protect and love and care. It's sad :(
Hehe, yeah the humor helps to deal with the bad of it. Luckily I found people that I can be me around. That helps too.
