Conceptions, Ms.

iworkatapubliclibrary:

Questions about my gender come up every time I do outreach with kids. Yesterday, I visited a kindergarten class.

Kid: “Are you a girl or a boy?”

Me: “I’m a girl.”

Kid: “You look like a boy.”

Me: “Some girls look like boys.”

Kid: “You want to see something cool?”

Me: “Sure.”

He then proceeded to take off his prosthetic foot.

Kid: “It’s my new foot.”
