I exist in this flawed world with a firm belief that there are situations that call for nuance. I also believe there are absolutes of morality that are not up for debate. One of those absolutes is that engaging in harm justification and harm minimization when children are impacted is morally wrong.
To ask kids to experience pain and suffering as a means to an end – always wrong. To have kids experience discrimination and then pretend it isn’t that big of a deal – always wrong. To say to a child, “I know this person just denied your humanity, but it’s okay because ____” – always wrong. When adults say, “When I was a kid, I went through _____ so you will be okay.” – always wrong.
When adults think they can manipulate a situation where kids have been hurt by engaging in justification and minimization, they are making the situation worse. They are dangerously establishing unhealthy and potentially more harmful patterns of thinking and behavior. I’ve watched this play out during my advocacy work with hundreds of schools, during my many years of classroom teaching and administrative experience, and one-on-one as a dad to two amazing children.
Today’s terrible Supreme Court decision singled out trans kids as not being human enough to receive the healthcare they need to thrive in the United States. Our highest courts will allow state governments to pass legislation that prevents families and kids from following the expert advice of their doctors. It’s morally wrong.
When you are talking with gender-expansive young people today, do not engage in harm justification or harm minimization. It’s fine to talk about this moment in the broader context of the history for queer liberation, but only if that doesn’t minimize the very real pain and suffering of kids today in 2025. Instead, talk about the power of community. Talk about how the existence of trans, nonbinary and gender-expansive children are a blessing, not a burden. Talk about the networks you are engaging to fight back against the fascism that is using their identities as a means to an end. Talk about how you will move mountains to get them the care they need – because they are worth it. source

A dark day in US History - from Justice Sotomayor's dissenting opinion: "The Court’s willingness to do so here does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight. It also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them. Because there is no constitutional justification for that result, I dissent." source

Not to reinvent the wheel over here but humanity is sooo right about tea. It really is the perfect finnicky little thing to do. You can use it as an excuse to get up and transition to the next thing for yourself or with others; you can use tea as the centerpiece for socializing; you can use it as a meditative device or a comfort ritual or as medicine or to soothe pain or to set intentions or go to bed or to wake up. And most tea is pretty inexpensive, healthy and sometimes you can just harvest the ingredients yourself. And there's a set amount of time it takes to heat up the water and prepare your cup and let it steep, which is all part of a ritual that makes it fast but not instantaneous which is. Good. source
