For queers who have kids, like kids, or are "questioning" kids. :)

We are a community in L.A. of genderqueer people who have close relationships with kids—as parents, partners of parents, unties/auncles, friends, etc., or people who are planning to someday have kids. presume a “two moms” or “two dads” arrangement and are generally very gender-normative in their conceptualization of both parents and children. But what about queer/genderqueer parenting (dyke dads, fag moms, and all the other possibilities…)?? Sometimes we get together for playdates in the park; other times we hold meetings to discuss issues related to gender and parenting. At our meetings, we have talked about how the children in our lives conceptualize gender and queerness, the difference between queer and lesbian/gay parenting (is there one? what is it?), how to relate to children in differently- and cross-gendered ways, queer pregnancy and birth options, communal and queer childcare, and how to parent or care for children without being totally integrated into private, consumer-based and homonormative domestic relations, and how to help create sustained space for children to explore gender, desire, and their own embodiment without imposing our own favorite gender systems on them (whatever they may be). We hope you’ll join us! While we are not specifically a transgender parenting group, many of our members are trans-identified. We welcome all trans people who support genderqueer parents and kids!

Most antiaborsion rhetoric frames pregnant people as needing to “take responsibility” for their actions, while missing the fact that pregnant people are autonomous beings who are capable of making informed reproductive decisions.✨
