@HPluckrose great article on trans issues on Areo. A very reasonable middle ground. I do have a few questions however.
-
-
More often the confusion is with sexuality than simple gender non-conformity tho. Most kids know they can like stuff typical to other sex.
-
Is there some lower age limit that a parent should allow their kid to socially transition though? Like surely a 3 yo would be too young?
-
I'd be more about not forbidding them from saying they are the opposite gender than advocating everyone else treat them as such.
-
'I'm really a girl' 'OK, some kids feel this way. Some always do. For more, it goes away. Keep me posted on how it goes with you.'
-
If the school or some other org tried to have it set in stone & make a big thing of it, I'd oppose this. If someone bullied them, I wld too.
-
What do you mean set in stone? Not accept their gender identity?
-
I meant the other way,actually. 'Your child says they are a girl. We must honour this & put all sorts of policies in place & change records'
-
The facts of the matter are that many kids feel this way but for most of them it resolves. This is what we should tell them.
