To think a 10 year old girl shouldn't be encouraged to see herself as "nonbinary"

How is this story so lauded by the right-on BBC? It's so very irresponsible of the parents to persuade a girl that she doesn't need to be a girl. Girls should be told that they are girls, and that doesn't prevent them from liking or doing anything that people say boys should only do. How does she even know what hormone blockers are? She could mess up her health forever by taking hormones in her adolescence. :(

(and yes, another trans thread - I don't care, this is SCARY SHIT right here when girls don't want to be girls)

WomanActually makes a good point about the possibility that Leo's mum may want her to be male in order to protect Leo from some form of sexual abuse. If this is something that happened to the mum when she was a girl, maybe it's a massively misguided attempt to stop the same thing happening to Leo?

That's certainly a kinder explanation than any other.

this is so stupid...
I would never stop ds playing with dolls or dd playing with cars but they are BOYS or GIRLS

pressed post too soon sorry...

They are boys or girls....they a have a gender
I repeat....this is stupid
