re: Parents have a gender reveal for their 6 year old transgender kid

What concerns me isn’t that some kids fee this way, I know Most trans people who say they have always Felt this way.

It’s that kids this young really don’t know enough about anything to really understand whether they’re trans or just you know a little boy who’s into girly things. For a six year old what’s the difference?

That’s a valid point. That’s why it took longer for me to connect the dots. I remember being 13 and looking up our Encyclopedia Brittanica and finally found the information about transsexualism. I was like “yep, that’s exactly what’s happening”. I couldn’t transition then, and don’t know that I would have wanted to. Times were much different back back in the 80’s/90’s.

I’ve run across very few cases where I felt that a child was indeed felt born the wrong sex. You could just tell. That’s why I feel that parents should just let their child just dress how they want and support them. Not necessarily encourage or push, but support. If the child grows out of it, no harm no foul.
