      As one of the co-founders of Let Toys Be Toys I am utterly disappointed that you are now promoting the ideology which says that a girl who wants short hair, likes fixing things and isn't into sparkles and dresses is 'in the wrong body' and must be a boy. Heartbroken.

      Yes, this does not seem in keeping at all with the whole *point* of the campaign.

      Of imagine almost all trans people agree with the message of Let Toys Be Toys. Being trans is not about stereotypes - trans and cis kids can play with toys made for any gender and still be valid :)

      No that's the whole point of the LTBT campaign toys should not be made for genders!pic.twitter.com/OMrhaNNr6L

          Being trans has shit to do with what you like, seriously have you ever once actually gotten to know any trans people? Or you just another bigot who thinks her assumptions are better than knowing trans people first hand?

          Afaics most trans people just have to transport all these stereotypes so they can pass because it's not safe for them to be visibly trans. So all TERFs do is create demand for stereotypes by creating a harmful environment for trans people.

          I get that. Maybe I should have phrased it better: kids can play with whatever toys they want and that has no bearing on whether they are trans or not. You can support LTBT and support trans people, because there's no contradiction there.

          Agreed Keb How one expresses oneself (inc LTBT) is independent from our gender identity and neither is dependent on our natal gender. My son is trans, and still loves to dance and make up. He hid who he was for fear of how we would react, at great cost to his mental health. 🏳️‍🌈
