[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, “the concern” is we don’t want any kids to have toxic relationships. Why do you feel the need to genderize everything?[/quote]

Are you kidding me?  Someone concerned about girls' development and well being is the one genderizing everything?  How about the people reducing EVERYONE to their gender identity and pronouns?

Here is the reality.  People who are biologically female--call them women or girls, whatever you want--have a different experience of the world for various reasons, whether it be hormones or biology or gender stereotypes or the very real possibility of pregnancy and rape. [b] Societal expectations for female behavior are different.[/b]  Ask anyone who has lived as a woman, trans women included (I'm thinking of the PhD scientist who has described the difference in how she was treated as male vs. female).  Relationships between girls are different as a result of these societal expectations.  The trans movement cannot undo the decades of research about relational aggression among girls, or how girls lose confidence between 8 and 13, or how girls and women are treated in the classroom and workplace if they are opinionated and outspoken.  But these things don't matter anymore.  This is what we mean when we say that concerns about girls' development have been entirely superseded by trans issues.  It's actually incredibly misogynistic, because it's largely about the concerns and rights of of MTF individuals who demand to be recognized as female, but it's misogyny in a progressive disguise so I guess it is okay.[/quote]

Right. Much of it is externally shaped.

Almost everything covered is important to boys and girls - relationships, anatomy, bodily functions, etc. Stop “genderizing” / “othering” women.

As a fiercely independent women, I resent it.
