Has she? I read the church of E pieces here and there and the gist I got was that it was a bit 'let kids be kids and try whatever' rather than labelling them as soon as they reach for something different.
I just skimmed over it but it seemed all right to me.

She characterises the bullying of boys in tiaras as "transphobic" and talks about "trans kids". Now THAT is labelling. A boy in a tiara is just a boy in a tiara ffs. She doesn't get it.

She is clearly on board with the new realities of the trans agenda, with the comments about vaginas /= woman.

There is also this underlying idea that a child trying on a tiara is somehow pushing boundaries, rather than just dressing up and role playing. It doesn't make them "fabulous", it's just normal play. Boys can wear tiaras without being trans, gay or camp. Girls can wear a firefighter's uniform or tool belt without being trans, lesbian or a tomboy.

I know. My adult son had a brief phase of Barbies and wearing pigtails aged 3 or 4, it wasn't "fabulous" or camp or trans, he was just having a bit of a laugh. It is totally unremarkable for kids to dress up.
