Reply to comment by parkslopeymcamanager in Brooklyn’s library moves to slip books through red state bans by King-of-New-York

I’ve worked with a ton of kids with varying backgrounds and let me tell ya, they don’t want to read books encouraging people to dislike or disrespect others because of their traits.

That would be purely for the adults.

Kids ask too many questions to just accept the idea that it’s okay to call someone something they specified they don’t want to be called.

To add to this, in every other context you would be seen as such a dick for refusing to refer to someone as they wanted.

But they don’t extend the same courtesy to trans people because they don’t view them as humans.

Like if someone says refer to me as doctor smith. And I’m like no, you’re name is Chris because I know better than you you’d be such a fucking dickhead.
