One wonders if he thinks it's kinder to indulge a little eight year old (innocent, with no wider understanding or life experience) to believe a child's sex doesn't matter, or to indulge that other eight year old in the belief that they can be the other sex and treated as such, and then have to say at thirteen when the risks are getting very serious, 'no, too far now'? Or kinder to as the guidance draft says, be clear from the start that gender reasons can never mean allowing a child into opposite sex spaces and having that boundary clear always?
Or is the hope that by then the thirteen year olds are going to be so used to it and normalised it and will be so angry/distressed that adults buckle and let them have at it?
I seriously wonder where this movement thinks boundaries should be to protect children from the ideas and use of very questionable adults.
