    Im also not a typical man personality… I tend to be more in touch with my emotions than most guys it seems. But that’s fine, I easily manage to find my tribe of friends.

    I think it’s very confusing for kids to be asked what gender they are. We simplify a lot or other things for kids so they don’t have to deal with complicated emotional issues at that age. But gender and sex, that they are supposed to think about? I don’t think it’s good, at all.

      Why do you think people are asking these kids complicated questions about gender and sex? Who’s asking? Teachers aren’t asking. Their friends aren’t asking. Maybe a very slim minority of parents?

      And at the secondary level, the most they’re gonna get asked is “what pronouns do you prefer?” and that just lets teachers respect kids choices.

      Where are kids getting complicated questions about what gender they are? When is it ever more complicated than “are you a girl or a boy?”

      Edit: I should clarify and say some kids use they/them and may identify as non binary, but, like, they just tell folks and go from there. It’s not complicated.
