Hmmm. For once I agree with the gender critical feminists. Unlike them, I accept that trans people exist & usually know it from a very young age. But kids enjoying things kids of the others sex more commonly enjoy is not what being trans is. Most kids who do that are not trans.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1050109569727385601 …

Trans activists who support this are doing their cause an injustice. If this becomes a common narrative, the consequences are likely to be an increase in the number of kids who say they are trans followed by an increase in desistance thereby increasing scepticism of trans ID.

Growing up I did have dysphoria and still experience it sometimes even today. (I'm 32 now) I used to lament not being born male. After a lot of soul searching the issue wasn't my body, it was what people expected of me because of it. I realized I'm a tomboy, not trans.

I don't think my experience is always the case, but I'm glad I wasn't pushed to transition. Today I'm happily married with 2 kids, I might not have that if society was then what it is now.

Yeah. You could have been on hormones and thus have become barren (potentially).

I was a very feminine little boy. Liked to wear dresses and play with dolls. But I’m glad I came into my identity as a gay man without the input of ideologues. Would have made me more confused I think.

But I also think trans kids know they are trans at a young age without the need for the assistance of advocates telling them who they are.

Kids aren’t stupid. If you let someone wrestle with their identity at their own time, at their own pace, without pressure from outside, will they not someday realize who they are?

Have a friend like this. She also preferred having guys for friend most of her life. I think she changed a bit on it after she had kids and became a stay-at-home mom. She was around other women a lot more and because of children had something in common with them finally.

We contain multitudes. And need no labels. (Speaking as a primary teacher...)
