I watched The Problem with Apu when it came out, I had no idea Hari was that dude. Then my jaw dropped when he mentioned his brother was in Das Racist. And the way he describes is mom, like damn, that's a *talented* family right there.
To be genderal neutral, i think you need to be gender all, nothing is off limits when it comes to toys/colors, you say there are no boy things and no girl things, boys can wear skirts just like girls can wear pants. Dont use "gender neutral" colors because youre imposing that being non bianary means you have to only like gray colors. My physical characteristics are "female" but i am not my body,i can decorate my body but is not what gives me value, i am my personality and interests. My mom would let me have a fishing pole, pop gun as well as a tinkerbell costume. I played with trucks and barbies.
I couldnt do that sensory deporvation container, i can float in a big pool and feel fine. Apparently that dark restaurant isnt accessible for actual blind people, they moved to a place with steps for everyone to fall down.
Here a year later, I just want to give a little pushback to the notion that raising a child without an assumed gender is "putting something on them." Children raised this way are still taught about gender and gender norms. They are just given the opportunity to decide for themselves where they fit in. Parents are not raising children to be non-binary or genderless; they are just giving children the space to figure that piece out using their own intuition and experiences.
I hated getting an mri, i thought i was going to get chopped up or get stuck, even though theres no blades and i could probably inch out if the auto drawer got stuck. I also hate air dryers and self flushing toilets because theyre too loud. My cholesterol has been high two years in a row but the first year i made the mistake of eating before getting my blood drawn, they wanted to put me on statins, where the side effects are not worth it.
Hank Azaria wanted me to tell you “mediocre talent wallowing in abject obscurity who blew his only shot” in the Apu voice. He said you would know what it meant.
Great episode , but this whole discussion about kids, in "This has gotta stop." section just discarded all logic omg lol. kids get a free $2000 seat? Family planes ignoring what that would do to logistics. By that logic you'd need 2 categories of planes under a single airline (doubling the complication. spending an extra 5% because air travel isn't already expensive enough). Sorry, I'm autistic, so I fixate even on jokes.
Ofc, there's also a radical and pacifistic and anti-caste tradition in Hinduism and in other Dharmic religions. So y'know, you shouldn't paint Hinduism with one broad stroke.
