5 Ways Parents Can Avoid Gender Stereotypes for Kids
There are lots of issues in the news about gender, and about transgender children.
We talk a lot about the binary teachings on gender and sexuality that are so prevalent in the patriarchal, nonaffirming church.
These false teachings have led to so much harm to marginalized people. So much hate masked by false teachings.
We are NOT going to let hate win, and part of that is helping free our hearts from all the junk we have heard for so long. Deconstructing those false teachings and harmful beliefs.
Today, we want to do that around parenting a child – and how parents can avoid gender stereotypes for kids!
