Babysitting

Tam is an aromantic transwoman and Ben is a 10-year-old she’s babysitting.

(ps my keyboard a pain so sorry for any grammar errors)

tw. homophobia but cute wholesome teaching of a little boy that gay is okay.

“Okay Ben, this is Tam, she’ll be watching you for the day.” Bens mother, a pale woman with the most stringy thin bleached hair Tam had ever seen in her 17 years of life.

“Okay mum! lov yoo!” the giggly mixed race boy said grinning and showing the missing few teeth he had.

“Tam feed him whatever’s in the fridge, keep him out of the laundry and he may need help going to the toilet, his bed time is 7 if he’s too stubborn to sleep make him warm milk and read him another chapter of a book”

“okay thank you ma’am”

“no thank you, the last guy who baby sitted him was a fag, I can’t have him exposed to that sort of thing.” and this was the point that Tam’s face went pale.

“of course.” She said keeping her composure but lowkey dying inside.

fortunately for Tam she had been on oestrogen for about 5 years and was very female looking so she wasn’t gonna be attacked at any point soon, plus her Chinese features made her look extremely feminine no matter what.

Bens mother closed the door waving goodbye finally and started the car driving off for her day out that Tam didn’t know the reason of.

“what is a fag?” the young boy asked climbing up on the counter and swinging his legs.”

“a horrible insulting word for people who love the same sex and did nothing wrong.” Tam said calmly but the anger was evident in her tone.

“oh... my friend said that her dads are gay has that got something to do wit’ it?”

“yes gay means men who love men and women who love women.

“oh... so why would people be mean to them?”

“because they’re ignorant and closed minded and need to remember that it’s the 21st century and love is love.”

“okay! but what if you like girls but boys are also nice?”

“then you’re bisexual or pansexual meaning gender and sex doesn’t matter.”

“okay! can i be Bisecual?”

“of course you can but I’d recommend moving out before you bring home a boyfriend.” Tam laughed looking about and starting to pick up toys.

“what’s an LGBT?”

“Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender. where did you hear that?”

“my church says that we should love the LGBT but mummy doesn’t agree.”

“your church is right, unless a gay man killed your family no human should ever be hated for who they are, and even if a gay man killed your family that doesn’t mean you should have a vendetta against gay men.”

“what is transgender?”

“it’s when you don’t like the gender you were born with so you go through a whole ton of things to make yourself feel like the other gender.”

“okay! do you know any transgenders?”

“i am trans myself actually, i didn’t like being a guy so i changed my name and now i’m a girl. but don’t tell your mum or she’ll never hire me again and i need the money, I’m starting a club to help people who are LGBT.”

“oh cool, i won’t tell my mum you told me all this, i don’t like what mum says but she’d hurt me if I said that.”

“you are a very good kid Ben.”

“thank you!” he grinned and walked over to start playing on his playstation.

hours flew by of Ben asking Tam questions about being trans and more LGBT things until it was finally his bedtime.

“what story do you want?” Tam asked as Ben ran into his bed and jumped under the covers.

“tell me one about a gay person and a trans person who is awomantic.

and so Tam told the story of cinderfella, who is hated by her family for being trans and so is enslaved and then a ball comes to find a groom for the princess and fella wants to go because she had previously met the princess and she’s charmed her and so she went but it turned out that the princess was aromantic and didn’t want a groom or a bride and so she and E#lla, formally known and fella run off and live a happy platonic life together waiting until the princess can come back and claim the throne for her own and change the laws of the land.

Ben had fallen asleep by the end of the story and Tam walked out slowly closed the door and waited for his mum to come home and pay her.

Tam got this job many times until Ben was old enough to take care of himself and with the money she got the now 21 year old woman made an LGBTQ safe spot and ran it with her platonic partner (which was their name for partners who don’t kiss or date but are happy and love each other like really good best friends) and then one day, when Tam was just opening the doors of the club with her platonic partner a mixed race boy came in the door and introduced himself as Ben and gay.

that was cute, hope you people enjoyed pls reblog if you want maybe a longer version of cinderfella because i’d like that.

thanks for reading bye!
