So to repeat, if my child asks for a Steam card for a gift... Should I make it a cash card instead?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

It is not a code for wanting to buy girly clothes or anything as far as I am aware but I do thing that it would be a more freeing gift that's also imposible to get wrong (cause they can use the money to buy whatever they want as the gift.)

I mean you can just ask what they want in general, steam games can be paid for with a card directly so...

also it feels nicer 🥰

Yeah i typically find steam card discounts around the holidays as a game nerd dad.

Just wasn't sure if steam was code or something for something else! My kids are still young and tell me everything. But I know they'll be teens one day and steam card is like code for makeup or something I dunno.

Aww that's nice :)

I personally used the steam card gift idea until I was ready to come out, it would have been odd for me to ask my parents for estradiol on my birthday lol.

If they trust you (I have no reason to think they shouldn't) they'll tell you on their own(do let them know you would be ok if they came out as gay/trans it helped me a lot), I don't think it's a good idea to assume those kinds of things.

Have a lovely day! 💜
