    I posted a while ago showing the same shirt. I got called cringe. Whatever, my trans kid likes it. Yours is dope.

      Us old folks can’t do anything about being cringe most of the time, but we can be supportive and protective of our kids. I think you’d agree that that’s the bigger win here, so good job fellow parent.

        Having principles you stuck to that are helpful to the world is never cringe, it’s a display of feeling of inferiority when someone critiques you for having a virtue. They feel that their comfortable bed of lies is threatened when someone shows that it’s not societaly acceptable to be a dick, while they lived their lives accepting that they may sometimes be allowed certain priviledges if they conform to the “norm”. I hope one day we get the world to the place where virtues are rightly celebrated instead of being called cringe.

        The secret is to embrace having an impaired give a shit. Be excellent to your people, and be excellent to strangers. Stop being excellent when they reneg on the dues for our common social contract, but don’t let them stop you.

        I’m sorry but you can’t be both cringe and named NielsBohron :p

        More seriously you (and your OP) sound like the kind of parent a lot of us wished we had c:

      It is cringe because we are old and they are young but it’s wholesome! I love it!

      I fully support trans and queer people.

      But I think any t-shirts with this kind of language is cringe as fuck. It just makes me think of maga morons and their stupid gun slogans.

      It’s like a billboard for “I’m a douche, steer clear”

      Anyway, just my two cents people can do as they please.
