“	[robogender people] can feel feminine, masculine, or any other way and still be robogender! thats what the blue, pink, and white lines are for!!

sky blue: learning and exploring! along w learning social skills we have things we’re interested in n love to learn and explore more abt them!!
white: everyone is welcome!!
dark blue: there’s alway room for improvement, to make progress! with what we learn and talk about, we can make our future hopeful !!
light blue: beep beep :3
