[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, at my child’s large (public) middle school there seem to be so many kids that are identifying as gay/bi.  As in maybe the majority, or close.  It seems very commonplace.  Is this the case at your child’s middle school? Seeing as adults that identify LGBQ is a much smaller percentage, what is going on with the middle school crowd? [/quote]

My daughter is in 9th grade and has 6 trans male friends. Two are considering hormones and dress as male. All 6 have taken male names and male pronouns, but 4 dress like females ('90s punkish) with plaid kilts, fishnets, band tees, and lots of rainbow merch. The kids get angry if people misgender them, even if they present as female. They also say things like, "I have a boyfriend and since I'm male, that means he's gay! But he said he's not gay because he's into my female body—but I'm male!" It is pretty confusing. I think a lot of kids are trying things on to see what fits and they'll figure it out eventually. But that is a large number of trans kids in one grade. [/quote]
