"Then one day my five-year-old asked me if she could be a girl. Contrary to what some might think, my first thoughts weren't 'Oh, my child is trans'. I just thought that my kid, wanted to try being a girl for a while." You were right the first time, chief.

The other day you claimed you're not against trans people transitioning. You must know many of us would have killed to transition in childhood - why outright deny that?

I'm not agaisnt trans adults transitioning. Children are another matter entirely because they are immature, incredibly suggestable and still developing both mentally and physically. A 5 year old cannot even begin to comprehend a complex concept like their gender identity.

I literally believed I'd grow up into a girl at that age. I didn't have the language to explain how I felt, because nobody was educating kids on such issues even in my teens. I wish badly someone had told me just once.
