Hmm. Daughter says she gets asked if she thinks she's a boy coz she prefers black trousers to kilt at school which is unusual.

Children seem very accepting of gender id changes. Adults seem to find it harder (like lots of prejudices I guess).
-
Not at all. "Are you trying to be a boy?" "Where's your tie?!" "Should we call you 'Luke.' Cos she wears (girls) trousers.
-
Sounds unkind and if it makes her feel at all uncomfortable I would suspect the sch would want to know.
-
She can deal with it. School is nuts abt stuff like this.
-
OK. What do you mean nuts? Over-sensitive or disinterested?
-
Over-sensitive. Think kids can't cope with anything.
-
Ah OK. Wasn't sure.

Perhaps a good sign that gender id isn't assumed any longer? Unless of course it's meant as a dig.

@ScottTalling Seems to be getting more closely tied to clothes and behaviour. Not gender-typical? Perhaps you're trans?
