i love my little cousin to death because he’s at that little kid stage where he has absolutely no speech filter so i know EXACTLY what type of shit his conservative mom has been feeding him. kid pulled our other cousin aside and went “DID YOU KNOW ICARUS LOOKS LIKE A BOY BUT HES ACTUALLY A GIRL?” (he also has yet to master volume control) and it’s so fucking funny because his mom acts all polite and friendly to my face only for her son to instantly expose who she actually is. king shit. unintentional ally
TEARS IN MY EYES HE DID IT AGAIN. he essentially yelled out “whoever speaks first is a faggot” (bc their parents were trying to get them to be quiet so he decided to make it a game.) and his dad went to reprimand him for it and the little guy went “but you say it all the-“ before his dad cut him off by going “no, i’ve never said it” i’m obsessed with this little dude consistently outing how bigoted his parents are without even realizing he’s doing it 😭
the context for the first thing is that op is a trans person named icarus but i 100% thought it was some weird conservative conspiracy about a transgender icarus From The Myths and i was trying to figure out what part of the wing thing made them a woman.
i mean if it was the wings that made Icarus a girl (in, like, Dark Crystal Gelfling style) then surely putting ON the wings was the act of transition?
