Non-Binary Model Teaches This Parent Tolerance And Their Text Exchange Went Viral
A little bit of compassion can encourage people to see things differently!
A Non-Binary Model, Rain Dove has a rare policy of replying with kindness to individuals who message on Instagram. The model’s response to ‘Are You A Woman and A Woman?’ is ‘I am I.”
They reply to harsh and violent messages by asking how someone’s day is going and even give compliments in response to any insults, using humor and absurdity to deflect uncomfortable questions.
While it might sound unusual, Dove’s interesting means of responding to someone with compassion and interest is enough to make anyone re-examine their reaction and words.
This time around, a message from a parent who got angry and confused that their child had asked for a binder used in flattening one’s chest was top-notch. The model calm response prompted the parents about their reason for feeling that way. Dove, however, managed to turn it into a teaching moment.
