    Where did you get that? I never accused you of being anti-trans. You accused someone of having an agenda for linking to a paper that suggests acceptance of gender identity as a means of reducing harm.

    I chose my words very carefully to avoid accusing you of anything.

    If you actually read that paper, you’ll find that it claims evidence of children 6-7 years old starting to separate gender as identity from gender as physical appearance.

    I don’t think your 8 year old or any 8 year old should be worried about gender identity, which is why I don’t agree with making such a big deal about gender identity claims. When it comes right down to it, I don’t think anyone of any age should have any concern about anyone’s gender identity other than their own. Let people of all ages alone to be who they are without judgement, condemnation, or panic.

    It’s not me, who is fine with whatever, who is causing any children grief over gender, but those who have their hair on fire over a world that is not quite what they expected.
