Every time I think of little boy me, seeing Crunchy and Smoothie, celebrating who I am over, while reading along with his after school snack, I  can’t quite believe that I made it here. That we made it here.  

Kraft Peanut Butter is one of the simple joys in life that we all have access to.  Regardless of what schools we went to, what neighbourhood we grew up in,  what type of cars we drive, or what our beliefs, most of us have that classic  green, or red lid somewhere in our kitchen. Even little boy me.  

When parents ask me about their kid exploring their gender identity I tell them that I like to think of gender as one of the puzzle pieces that make up the whole of who we are.
For most people their gender puzzle piece is already in place. It’s the freebie - anchored securely in the perfectly fitting pieces around it. This is probably how you felt growing up.
