[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In early elementary, no kid care about gender or how you dress.

Even the idea of being a boy when you are born as girl at such a young age is put by parents. Kids don't come up with that themselves.

Just go ahead and let kids wear whatever dress kid want to wear. No one will care.

"No one will care," and yet evidently some people do care about the harm purportedly caused to children if a teacher reads this book to them in the classroom...[/quote]

You still not get it , right?

Kids don't even notice if 5 years old girl is wearing boys clothes. They don't care, because it's not something they are actively thinking.

Now first as LGBT parent, you go and talk with your kid about possibility of gender change at age of 5-6. Then you expect all other parents to follow your example.

Yes, You are not asking parent to talk about it, but you are asking schools to talk about it.

You don't see a problem here?

It is absolutely not true that 5 year olds don't notice if a girl is wearing a boy's clothes or vice versa. They absolutely do and because they lack a filter at that age, they will state so loudly and ask questions.[/quote]

Tons of 5 year old girls put boys clothes and most kids won't even give a thought. Its not rare at all.  Other way around it's more noticeable because that's rare.[/quote]

It depends on the clothes. If a girl wears sweat pants and a t-shirt, no because that is pretty unisex at this point. But if a girl walks in wearing a tuxedo or a suit, kids will notice and probably remark.[/quote]

Not the PP.

There are plenty of 5-6 years old girls who behave in a manner usually considered boyish and that include what they wear. My wife was like that till she was 10-12 years old. It may have been horrible outcome if anyone had suggested gender change discussion to her when she was 5-6 years old and if she had taken that decision at that age. It would have been a life altering decision when she did not have capacity to think about it. [/quote]

Some people sure are afraid of some books.[/quote]

People don't want religious books in Elementary school as mandatory reading.

People don't want gender change books in elementary schools as mandatory reading.

I am surely afraid of some books when it comes to well being of my 5 years old kid.

It's important to include books that support tolerance and inclusion.[/quote]

So you would support books about being a republican being read at circle time>
