| Topic | Your 5 year old son comes up to you and says, "I'm a girl." |
| wolfy42 10/13/18 7:06:17 PM #14: | edededdy posted... so when did people start taking 5 year olds seriously? This isn't a hypothetical, I had a student like this, had already been treated as a boy for 2 years (was in my 3rd grade class), used the boys restroom etc. Seemed crazy but never had any issues and just went with it. On a personal level (I'm not teaching now), i don't think anything that drastic should be done till after puberty (having someone live as an opposite gender). I mean there are tomboys etc, you girls that like sports and hang out with the boys etc, had plenty of them. And guys that like hanging out with the girls etc. That is plenty at that age, honestly seems silly to me to even define gender until later. Parents choose the clothes and at least through most of elementary the kids don't really care too much (except if they have my little ponies on em or minecraft swords or a spiderman logo etc). But whatever, it's a strange world and to each their own, but yeah, personally I would suspend any such large life altering decisions till the child was older. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly ...
