[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a lot of labeling and language that don't seem relevant to me in this situation.  As Gen X would say, she's a tomboy.  Who cares.  So many girls are like this.  My own 5th grade daughter is.  What does this have to with trans and cis gender at this point in her life?

Just follow her lead and stop looking for trouble.  Let her wear her hair how she wants, dress how she wants, and coach her to tell the custodian she likes her hair how it is.    [/quote]

Yes, this. Another Gen X tomboy here. I can only imagine what people would say about me now if I was 10. No one needs to be commenting to a child about how their hair is or how they dress (within school dress codes).

I'm 53, still don't wear dresses or makeup, don't paint nails and typically wears sneakers. I work in a male dominated field and wear a uniform (yea, get paid to look stereotypically male LOL). I'm straight, married and had kids. Somehow I've managed to have a traditional life even though I didn't wear dresses and played little league with all boys (no girls league when I started!). People need to chill and relax.[/quote]
