Can I just say I have a lot of teddy type plushie bears, and I love all of them for different reasons.
So you imagine my upset when I the news article “King Charles evicts Andrew—and his 72 teddy bears—from Buckingham Palace”…Oh the comments!
Let’s not go there. I remember also seeing a comment from a TERF a little while ago, saying how she loved her plushie, but the thought of a trans person also loving on a plush toy, makes them freak out. Like…don’t have your plushie then, there are lot more deserving people who deserve one. They were freaking out because their “reasoning” was “what is they have one to make them feel more like a girl”.
What?
It’s not a “girl” thing to have a plushie, and if it was…It shouldn’t be! Teddy Bears are for literally everyone. Teddy Bears are not gender or sex specific. They’re for cuddles and to cry into…or scream into, lol…To hug when you’re scared. To cuddle to feel comfy and warm during Winter.
Leave the teddy bears out of it!
I wish I had a space for 72 teddy bears. If I’m honest, if I had the space, I would never stop, lol.
