[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] hope all of her praying fans are praying for her daughter’s safety as Sidney travels all over the world. The US state department issued an international travel advisory this week warning LGBTQ+ Americans to be cautious in other countries during the month of June.[/quote]

Hatmaker-adjacent: Sarah Goodfellow's oldest daughter, Riley, has some severe anxiety issues and identifies as they/them.  She spent a semester in college in Spain and almost had a nervous breakdown (no exaggeration) because the professors wouldn't use her preferred pronouns and she felt called out and harassed on the streets because of her sexual identity.  She is fluent in Spanish, due to her time in Peru with her family for their nonprofit/missionary work with Krochet Kids, and was able to articulate well why she chose to identify as such to her teachers. I was struck by her sad inability to see that the rest of the world is not the US, and that other cultures don't necessarily agree with or accommodate your beliefs/worldview.

The street harassment is something all females unfortunately have to deal with.  I lived abroad and you take lots of precautions to stay safe.  I hope Sydney just keeps her eyes open and is a good tourist and gets a lot of great photos and stays safe. [/quote]

It’s pretty shitty to tell the story of a kid only slightly related to this thread — specifically call out that they use they/them pronouns and then repeatedly NOT use them in your story.

Do better. [/quote]

If you feel you need to address people by their preferred pronouns, that's your choice, but don't come on here and try to bully others into entertaining an ideology they don't believe in. [/quote]
