      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 :)

      It's just a way of simplifying it for kids. Honestly, try actually looking at their material in context and not just screen grabs designed to make it look as bad as possible, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

      Precisely. Anyone who says that boys or girls are actually girls or boys based on what they play with is projecting their own prejudices. Similar to when children make racist statements. It's not them, it's their parents, or parents of their peers.

      Yeah, but that's nothing to do with being trans. Almost every trans person would agree that children of any gender can play with any toy they like without it having any influence on whether or not they are trans. Stereotypes =/= gender.

      OK so define a girl without relying on stereotypes then.

      Someone who identifies as one 🤷‍♂️ There's no single good answer to that question which doesn't harm or exclude some women.

      What is it they are going identifying as?

          I mean, you're talking to me - a trans man who played with many many traditionally 'girly' toys, wore dresses, is attracted to men, has very feminine mannerisms. I've been exploring 'what being a man feels like' all my life. I am living proof stereotypes don't come into it.
