I keep having this thought of how the world would be different if the ‘default’ for people was asexual/agender instead of heterosexual/cisgender. I’d read that book, if someone wrote it.
Like if when kids were born, they were just considered to be a/a until they reached puberty or whatever, and then they could declare themselves to be whatever feels right. And they could change their minds at any point too, and everyone would be supportive. We’d have no more gendered toys or media or clothing for children. Instead, they would be exposed to models of all different ways of living by family, community, school, and the media.
Someone write this book for me, please. Thank you.
