      A common response I see about 'transing' kids is that it's mostly a strawman. "No one's pushing kids to transition because they like sex-typed toys opposite of their sex," they say. Let's go through the diagnostic criteria for GD in children to see if this is a strawman... https://t.co/gxiAaJEqjZ

      Almost all of these 8 points relies not on the child's discomfort with their body, but with a discomfort of gender stereotypes, or expectations, of how boys and girls should act and behave.

      A child doesn't know anything about sex or gender. If a girl plays with toys they see mostly boys playing with, they might easily think that they too are a boy.

          To tell them that they were born in the wrong body is simply child abuse, setting them up for a life of confusion and distress as well-meaning adults continue to lead them down a harmful path.

          How else can you explain the 4000% increase in children and teens expressing the desire to change their sex? Could it be the expectations our culture pushes onto them--that they can solve all their distress around gendered expectations by transitioning?

          And if their parents are both progressive and loving, the might accidentally pressure their child into believing they are a different gender. Kids are stupid and impressionable even small comments could cause that

          My daughter at three said rhat she could not wear jeans because boys did and then everyone would think she was a boy. They totally don’t get the difference. I btw wore jeans and am not a boy so I don’t know where she got that idea.
