    What you’re saying is that–FOR YOU–sex and gender is easy. You do not speak for all cisgender people, buddy. Some cisgender people ALSO struggle with their identity, and thus teaching children at a young age about gender identity and sex to allow them the freedom to explore their identities is helpful.

    Your argument boils down to: People are too afraid and confused too talk about sex and gender… which is why we should stop talking about sex and gender.

      No I don’t think it’s helpful, and I think it could be harmful actually. Like I said in my post, a lot of people feel it’s difficult to talk about it without being attacked by trans people. So they are scared and stay silent.

        Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell a child that being a girl or boy is more about whether you feel like you are a girl or boy than how you look?

        Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell a child that some people have two moms or two dads?

        Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell children not to make judgments about a person based on how they physically look, even if that judgment is something small like what gender they are?

        This is what gender identity and sexual orientation lessons look like for young children, and I am really confused as to how these lessons are harnful to the youth.
