Honestly, the part I'm the most proud of
is that this cis 12 year-old boy
invited 4 girls to his escape room party of 7
One plays bass in his band (and starred in the play), and another plays keyboards in the band too.
The other two were in the play too
one of *them* is his engineering bestie from science class, who showed up wearing a baseball cap saying "SPACE: it's kind of a big deal"
The kids are all right, & they are SO MUCH LESS hung up on performing gender than us Gen Xers
