      yeah that sounds pretty much how you would explain this to a pre schoolerhttps://twitter.com/conor64/status/1523763325812629505 …

      Okay so now a question for progressives. Does this seem age-appropriate to you for a Pre-K class or do you think (as I do) that there's no way kids that age will understand what "non-binary" means? Does anyone disagree and think that's a good thing to introduce in pre-K? pic.twitter.com/48buPJOPhg

      I've literally had these conversations with my kids when they were in kindergarten because once they enter social life they encounter different sorts of people.

          Some children are also those different sorts of people, but Connor seems to think they should be forced into the closet until they're the "right age"

          Folks whose vision of learning is math and spelling, not kids navigating complex social interactions, can aleays be ignored. Even Douthat caught on & ran a decent piece about playgrounds being the minefield of middle school learning …
