There's been a lot of talk about the UK organization Mermaids. But the US equivalent is Gender Spectrum, which if anything has even more influence on policy in the US (including conferences, school policy, and more). Zero coverage of this org outside our website (so far).https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1096132516187000832 …

In this children's book "Stacey's not a girl," the narrator (a "natal" girl) talks about hating dresses and ... barrettes! This is just a variation on the Barbie/GI Joe theme pushed by Mermaids. https://www.genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-spectrum-story-time-staceys-not-a-girl/ …pic.twitter.com/y1dzKSr14h

Ehrensaft was asked by a conference attendee how a preverbal child might indicate they're transgender. Eschewing barrettes (for a baby girl) or making a dress out of a onesie (for a baby boy) can be telltale signs, she says. https://vimeo.com/185149379

The "nonbinary" trope is becoming more and more common with gender docs and psychologists, as well as organizations like Gender Spectrum, which has plenty of material on its slick website and YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-22q5PwKTs&feature=youtu.be …

Gender dysphoria is no longer a requirement for cutting-edge identity medicine doctors. "Personal comfort" for nonbinaries is a good enough reason for hormonal/surgical body tinkering.

"A touch of testosterone" for a nonbinary identity. "The children are leading us....I'm a boy-girl, I'm everything," enthuses Diane Ehrensaft, Director of Mental Health at UCSF's youth gender clinic (and member of Gender Spectrum's board of directors). https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/when-kids-come-in-saying-they-are-transgender-or-no-gender-these-doctors-try-to-help/2018/01/19/f635e5fa-dac0-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b8b348e8c6b0 …pic.twitter.com/GX9WhfASNu
