Cuento infantil para un mundo sin los estereotipos del género masculino.
Si me preguntan si creo que existe vida en otro planeta, respondería que sí. No digo una vida como la nuestra, (eso no lo sé) pero en un universo infinito me parece imposible que estemos solos.
Lo mismo creo de la gente, somos más de 7 mil millones de personas en el mundo y todas tan complejas y únicas. La diversidad es una de nuestras características como especie. Aún así, a lo largo de la historia, han intentado de todas las formas posibles unificarnos y en los casos en que lo han logrado (aparentemente) los resultados han sido desastrosos para esos seres y para todos los demás en realidad.
Quise escribir este cuento por un artículo que me mandó una amiga sobre la masculinidad 'tradicional' y también por mi propia experiencia como madre de dos niños hombres en una familia que no juega a los roles de comercial de t.v.
Deseamos vivir en un mundo sin estereotipos, en el que sea posible ser.
Cuento de A que te cuento.

At home, Jenae has plenty of company, like her no-nonsense mama; her older brother, Malcolm, who is home from college after a basketball injury; and her beloved grandpa, Gee.
Then a new student shows up at school—a boy named Aubrey with fiery red hair and a smile that won’t quit. Jenae can’t figure out why he keeps popping up everywhere she goes. The more she tries to push him away, the more he seems determined to be her friend. Despite herself, Jenae starts getting used to having him around.
But when the two are paired up for a class debate about the proposed name change for their school, Jenae knows this new friendship has an expiration date. Aubrey is desperate to win and earn a coveted spot on the debate team.
There’s just one problem: Jenae would do almost anything to avoid speaking up in front of an audience—including risking the first real friendship she’s ever had.
