1. A father announced on Twitter some months ago that he had his 4-year-old child's birth certificate changed to the opposite sex. Today on Twitter, he explained his rationale to ppl who tried to argue with him.pic.twitter.com/lmxafQuKFN

9. Dad posted this today. There's no reason to doubt him when he says a slew of professionals thought it was a good idea to change SEX on the birth certificate of a 4-yr-old--including a judge (who'd have to approve the change with a court order). This is where we are in the US.pic.twitter.com/3hoKsdhVjk
this sounds like physical conversion therapy
Developmental psychologists have long recognised how children learn to classify sex. It's based on superficial markers such as hair & clothes for many children at this age
@LResisters can you link please?
I am beginning to worry there will be pushback on female characters in books/films. If a boy watches Frozen and wants to be Elsa today, it doesn’t mean he should go on puberty blockers anticipating his penectomy! When did gender roles get so narrow?
I know he's speaking crap. I barely mention sex to my 3yr old. He doesn't know girls are girls & boys are boys. You'd really have to push that stuff. He likes Skye from paw patrol, he loves having the unicorn packaging on jammy Dodgers and...
At the same time, loves cars and "boy toys" loves building duplo and making dinosaurs & boats or rockets. He's discovering himself, who he is & if gender isn't pushed its freedom for him. And he even prefers a long tee to sleep in instead of PJ's.
At the heart of this sexist beliefs are often demonstrated They took away a toddler's favourite toys & dress up clothes fgs Entrenched beliefs that baby boys should conform to sex-based stereotypes. Also often underpinned with homophobia
This is child abuse.
How can you, or anyone, possibly say that unless they've the ability to forsee the future.
