It is magical, Eva! This makes me think of the poor toddler suspended from playschool in the UK for ‘transphobia’ for what I suspect was correctly clocking the sex of a classmate. What does that do to his soul, to his parents’ soul?

It's horrible to think about! I can't believe we're doing this to kids.

It’s part of the movement to do away with the sex binary completely. It seems a lot of trans “allies” have actually retrained their brains to not automatically categorize people as male or female. They have shut down that intuitive instinct, and sincerely believe that 1) sex is irrelevant, gender is all that matters, and 2) one cannot know a persons gender until informed by that person. Unfortunately, there are some that are now aggressively retraining the brains of children to shut down that instinct

You would think that kind of egregious overstep with children would encourage more people to push back on all of this!

Abandoning the gestalt in favor of ticking off the sex-characteristic boxes seems to be the only way most trans people can find peace in their make-believe identities. And then we sex realists catch heat from trans activists and their allies for possessing normal cognitive faculties.
