[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work with kids, and yes, I've been exposed directly or indirectly to kids struggling with gender for many years. This is where we realize it's not a mental illness or a social construct. It's a real thing- and it doesn't look like Kaitlyn Jenner or drag queens, it's a bone fide development that starts very early with children who are dealing with gender identity. It's not as if they are rebelling at 13  or 16, it's something that's been in play since they were toddlers.  Their parents have a really hard job in deciding what to do about  hormone suppression at about 11 or 12 as well as dealing with their own emotions. It's not the schools job to decide what is correct regarding bathrooms.  If the family is on board with this kid transitioning, it's not anybody's  right to make decisions to supercede  the familys decision for what this kid does in school because most of us HAVE NO IDEA of the thought process and trajectory  that went into this. If people have a problem with it, I say educate yourself  and make an effort to understand. If you can't, MYOB.[/quote]
