When told the National Geographic photographer (for the "gender issue") is about to arrive, child balks: "You put me in everything and I don't approve of it!" (Timestamp: 41:13) Mom: The problem is you DO approve of things, then you change your mind." (Child is 9 years old.)pic.twitter.com/H59QVQiWHN

I am assuming the pink clothes, the hairstyle, and the pink room decor we saw in these clips is Avery's choice. But has anyone ever told Avery, "You can still have all of these things without changing your body or your identity?"
