@dconley I'd say wear black nail polish! But that doesn't solve the inherent problem. 😕

@maloki I actually did last Halloween! We just got a bunch of new families though so I don’t know how “okay” they are.

@dconley ugggg. i know this feel. it's so draining to answer random impolite questions from people when you're trying to work through your own stuff and just live your experience.

i'd highly recommend at least doing it at home, or in situations where you won't have to have a confrontation or expend emotional labour about it. it's good for your heart, and you shouldn't let other people drain you to the point that you aren't doing things you enjoy.

big big hugs. ❤

@nergdron oh yeah I wear nail polish regularly, and at work! (Which was a big deal for me when I first did it). Scouting is just... a little different.

@dconley fair. my mom put me in scouts as a kid. I did not have a good time.

@nergdron I know a few trans people that was true for. I had a great time, and my son does too, but it’s REALLY dependent on the troop/pack.

@dconley yeah. I grew up in a really bigoted / racist / shitty part of Canada, so it didn't go well.

@dconley im sorry ): that's so shit. have all the hugs you like 💜💜
