tRuth, JusTEAS, and the American Way

    I'm sure you can tell by this title that I'm talking about tea again. Well not just any tea. Another amazing blend from TeaBook. If you believe in justice, equality, and the power of women, then this is the tea for you!

tRuth, JusTEAS, and the American Way

Ruth Bader Ginseng is a new blend of tasty tea, from TeaBook. This green tea has a blend of lemon myrtle and organic ginseng. It smells and tastes wonderful. Start your morning off right with a steaming cup of RGB tea. Let the qualities that makes Ruth Bader Ginsburg amazing, be your inspiration to be the best human you can be.

Ruth Bader Ginseng is number five in the PoliTEAcal series. As a person, Ruth is one of my heroes. She is fierce, hard working, and stands for what is good our country. While you're partaking in your RBG Tea, take time to pore over the wrapper. You will see images of the many things that make Ruth a real life super hero!

    It features her fight to protect the fourteenth amendment. The rainbow shows how she stands up for the LGBTQ community. Her life's work has been spent fighting for civil rights, which really does make her a super hero! You'll see references to her Jewish heritage, her home of Brooklyn, and her love of opera, and staying in shape.

More from TeaBook

TeaBook also has other tea series. Each with inspiring people, and punny names. I'm loving the Fred TEA Mercury. This organic tea is Bohemian Raspberry. (Get it!) What Tchaikovsky? Are you a fan of his works of music? What about his tea? Yes, he has one too! It's Chaikovsky tea, and you guessed it, it's Chai tea! (One of my personal favorite flavors of tea.) Chaikovsky and Fred TEA are part of TeaBook's LBTQTEA series. So whether your identify with LGBTQ or you're an ally, show your support and enjoy a tasty tea!

You Only Care About Your Daughters, Not Our Sons

    I'm tired. I'm tired of ignorance. I'm tired of bigotry. I'm tired of people arguing and shoving their opinions down everyone else's throats.

    So here's the thing. All these people throwing a fit about gender neutral bathrooms, need to stop.

    Stop and LISTEN to what you're saying.

    You're all worried about trans people "preying on our daughters in gender neutral bathrooms!" 

    What about our boys? 

  You mean to tell me that just because it's a "men's only" bathroom, there's no chance of a pedophile being in there?

    If you think that, you need to wake up!

    As bathrooms stand right now, I have to send my nine year old, special needs son, into the men's bathroom, ALONE. When I do take him into the ladies room, (because yes, there are times when he struggles with buttons and snaps, and needs help) I get nasty looks, because he's big for his age. He's also at the age where he thinks he needs to use the men's room. But what if he needs help? He's in there, all ALONE. What if there's a predator in there?

    Some places now have a "family bathroom," which is great. The problem with this is, it's ONE bathroom, for a family. So if it's occupied, and let me tell you, it usually ALWAYS is, people like me still have to make a choice. Do we take our child in with us? Deal with nasty side glances, and our kids whining because they're "too big for this!" Or do we let our kid go into their "gender" bathroom and worry if they need help. Worse yet, worry they could be touched, or lulled into being kidnapped.

    Also, NEWS FLASH, being LGBTQ doesn't make you a criminal. They are human, just like YOU and just like ME. So these people associating this community with being pedophiles is not only homophobic, it's wrong!

    I've also read, "well I shouldn't have to explain to my young child about trans people." WAKE UP people. First of all, they will encounter LGBTQ people in their lives at some point. Start teaching them acceptance NOW. Also, if you actually feel that they are too young for that now, it wouldn't kill you to just say, "everyone looks different sweetie," when your child comments on why someone in the restroom looks differently.

    Basically this boils down to Civil Rights. Remember learning about the 60's when African Americans had to use separate bathrooms as Caucasians? Well, guess what, that was deemed to be against their civil rights, just like this will be. It's the 21st century people. The world is changing, and this close minded thinking isn't evolving with the rest of us.

So do us all a favor. Learn some acceptance. Teach your children some acceptance. Then we'll all make the world a better place. One kid at a time.
