[quote=Anonymous]It's no one's job to 'teach' or be an example. I don't like to do it as the only anything - woman, person of color you name it. It gets OLD. So yes, you may catch me on an off day and get some hurt feelings, but it's the chance you take when you send your kid out there without appropriate tools. I see it all the time. Parent sees someone with a different visual/physical presentation and they PANIC, they try to literally shield the kid from seeing it to keep them from embarrassing them and saying something stupid. So they keep doing it, and they get out there on their own and act like an ass-hat to an adult. BTW, why do kids think they can do that anyway these days??

Now, those parents that prepare their kids for this and discuss differences consistently, never seem to flinch. I've found those kids, tend to look at that different person and say 'hi'. They don't flinch, they don't mouth off. They have been prepared. I'm betting these are also the parents that recoil about discussing reproductive health and hurl those kids into our society knowing nothing.
