[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello how you handle? My son said no but I still think it’s inappropriate to ever ask someone, much less kids in 3rd grade about their sexuality or identity. Talk to the teacher? Other parent? Do nothing?

My son knows what it means. [/quote]

I have been shocked how much kids this age talk about this stuff. Whats concerning is that most of them don't really know what the terms actually mean. My kid is 5th grade and has friends who say they are bisexual (but this seems to be used interchangeably with non-binary).  The labeling of sexuality and gender at this age seems weird to me for the general population of elem kids. [/quote]

I am beyond thrilled my fifth grader and his friends aren’t into dating girls. It’s 24/7 sports, there’s not ONE kid at our amazing little MCPS elementary fifth grade who has publicly changed genders or come out in any way!!! So happy he hasn’t had to deal with that. I know it’s coming in middle school but he will have better tools to navigate it (compassion, friendship and more). [/quote]
