- What does your teen think about gender?
For the last five years, SHE Media has been filming with a focus group of about 25 kids, to cover an array of topics. When we first met Bailey, Evan, Gabrielle, Julia, Juno, Jojo, Reed, Sabine, Sadie, Skye, Zaki, and the 14 other kids we interviewed, they were 9 years old. We've followed them for the past five years, and today, they’ve grown into young adults, navigating the weird, wild, and wonderful world of teen culture.

It's Official: Gen Z is Rejecting the Gender Binary
Today’s teens are more gender-nonconforming and gender-fluid than any previous generation, and it’s serving them well.
A 2018 study from the journal Pediatrics, for example, noted that nearly 3% of kids they studied identified as transgender, gender-nonconforming, or non-binary; compare that with an earlier UCLA study (from 2017, so not that much earlier) that found only .7% of teens identifying as transgender, and it’s hard to deny the expansion of gender identity, gender terminology, or both. As for our five-year focus group of 25 kids, our recent follow-up interviews with them support just that trend, with an increase of 10% or more in un-articulated or non-binary gender identities among the 25 kids.
“Gender identity is not what you’re born with; it’s who you are,” one of the Hatch kids, Reed, tells SheKnows, reiterating what science has long known about gender (that it’s a social construct) - but a fact that this country seems oh-so-draggingly delayed in embracing. (Case in point: Why is it so damn hard to let trans kids use the bathroom they’re comfortable with??) “It doesn’t matter what they think,” Reed adds. “It just matters what I think, and how I imagine myself.”
Skye, for one, has reimagined the gender - and the pronouns - they were assigned at birth.
“I’m gender-neutral and I use they/them pronouns,” says Skye. When asked which bathroom they would use, Skye replies, “Whichever one has a shorter line.” Um, you can hang with us anytime for that response, Skye.
Skye goes on to explain that they’ve spent these past five years we’ve been following their story truly struggling with their gender before coming out as non-binary. “As of this summer I feel a lot more confident. I just felt really weird about myself [before]…I have some pretty specific memories of questioning my gender when I was younger… I’d suppress that.”
“I’m not a boy. I’m also not a girl,” Skye continues. And realizing and acknowledging this? “That was a really important step for me to take,” they add.
“Right now, I think I identify as male? I’m still kind of figuring it out,” another teen, Zaki, tells SheKnows.
But what’s the biggest struggle for kids coming into their own and identifying as gender-nonconforming? Aside from, you know, U.S. politics (see: aforementioned bathroom awfuless), a huge obstacle can, sadly, be the parents.
“My friends especially immediately started using the right pronouns and correcting themselves when they used the wrong ones,” Skye explains, “as well as using my [new] name as soon as I told them that’s the name I was comfortable with.” But the adults in their life? Not as accommodating.
“I think it’s more nerve-wracking to come out to your parents,” 19-year-old Sadie, explaining that we expect folks of our own generation to be understanding - older generations, not so much.
So what can we, the parents - whether we’re elder millennials or elder generations - do? Listen to and validate your child and their gender identity. Don’t question, don’t gloss over it, and above all don’t refer to it as a “phase.” Accepting them for who they are is by far the most important thing you can do to be a good parent to your LGBTQ child - or any child, for that matter.
After all, as Zaki says, “It’s important to be yourself. Because if you’re not yourself, who are you?”

“Rip human race”…this comment section is dramatic. These teens are first of all respectful. Like all teenagers, including my self, they’re easily impressionable. They’re a product of their environment. This whole gender neutral fiasco makes no sense to me..doesn’t mean we shouldn’t listen to others opinion and be dramatic. That’s my 5 cents of thought
We absolutely shouldn't accept opinions on something that is factual. Your opinions on abortion rights, sure. Do you believe in aliens, okay. You think their is an infinite number of genders... absolutely not. listening is one thing, but this nonsense is being encouraged. You should listen enough so you can guide them to how silly stupid it is, but that's about it.
When I was about 4 years old I got into my mother's closet and decided to play dress up. I got on a pair of high heals, a dress, some clip on earrings and I was attempting to put lipstick on my mouth. My Mom caught me. She flew into a rage, ripped the items off me. I thought she had ripped my ears off she pulled the earrings off with such violence. Shen she picked me up by an ankle and dragged me into my room. My head bumped on the threshold as she did. I was dizzy and had a headache after that.
She locked me in the room and told me of my impending doom. My Dad would be home from work soon and I was condemned to punishment.
I could tell when my Dad got home because of the yelling going back and forth. Then I heard loud stomping up the stairs I was was in tears before he entered the room. He grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me down two flights of stairs into the dark forbidden basement and into a corner of the basement I had previously been told was off limits or I would be whipped. I had been whipped on many occasions and deliberately avoided that part of the basement primarily to avoid getting whipped. He got out some clothesline and tied my wrists together and hoisted me up by my wrists and hung me from a hook in an overhead beam. Then he pulled off my underwear and got out a knife and cut off my t-shirt. Then I heard the terrifyingly familiar sound of his belt being pulled out of it's loops followed by the even more frightening sound of that belt being rolled up with the buckle jingling. That meant I was getting the buckle end. I had never gotten more than five with the buckle end before. He then said the most frightening word in the English language: "COUNT!" That evening I learned to count to 100. He did not want to limit himself to just my rear end. He struck me everywhere including across the face. I have half a dozen permanent scars from just that one incident including one that disqualifies me from ever having a pretty face. Mercifully I passed out just as he was unhooking me.
I woke up as he was dragging me back up the second flight of stairs to my bedroom. He kicked open the bedroom door and flung me across the room. I hit the wall and fell onto my bed and passed out again.
I woke up the next day in the afternoon not having eaten anything in over 24 hours but I was too dizzy and my headache was too much for me to even notice the grumbling in my stomach. I also felt very weak and had a hard time standing up. I was dragged back downstairs into the basement where I was tied to a stool because I kept falling over from the dizziness. Dad got out the clippers and gave me what was then known as a whiffle cut. Basically it was what some people would call a military style haircut. Prior to that my hair was roughly an inch or so long. It was maybe an eighth of an inch long, anything shorter would have required a razer.
I was taken back up stairs into the dining room and sat on a chair and Mom and Dad opened up a can of string beans, (which I detested) a can of beats, (the one vegetable that always made me puke at the taste), and some liver. At least they cooked the liver. They chopped it all up and put it in a bowl. They gave me warm water to drink. On the third bite I had to run to the bathroom to puke. I missed the toilet and got it on the floor. dad scooped it up and put the vomit back into the bowl and mixed it with my meal. I was told I would not get another meal tomorrow unless I ate and kept down everything in that bowl. I did not eat the next day. On Day two Dad asked me if I was queer. I had never heard the word and had no idea what it meant. I shrugged my shoulders.
I was dragged back into the basement and hung back up naked again. the first stroke hit me in the face. I counted to 150 that time. Then I was asked "Now are you queer?" I still had no idea what he was asking me. On the third day I ate nothing and got 200 strokes of the buckle and asked again "Are you still queer?" I got it then. "No Dad" I said trembling barely able to get the words out weak from hunger and the third beating, "I'm not queer." Just to make sure I stayed not queer, he beat me ten more strokes every day for weeks. I learned to eat canned beats, string beans and liver. It was all I was permitted to eat for months.
I will say that I remained not queer for many years.
Dad died when I was 16. The guilt I felt for not feeling an appropriate amount of grief drove me near to suicide. I believed Mom when she told me I had murdered my Dad by being a bad person. Dad died of a heart attack. It seems I caused it by existing.
I graduated from high school and moved 1500 miles away from "home."
To all those of you who have supportive parents. Give them a hug for me.
What your parents did was terribly wrong. I don't condone violence especially to a child. I'm sorry you were treated badly. I'm just sorry it happen. I pray that God will heal your inner wounds and give you peace.
God put you on this earth the way you are and he thinks you are beautiful and he loves you. If that man died it was because he deserved to die and go to hell. You had nothing to do with it.
Jesus Christ.
I am so sorry that you were treated in such a way, no child ever should ever have to go through what you have suffered.
Parents are supposed to love and protect you, guide you and hear what you say and try to help you find your way through.
When my son was little he had long hair down to his bum, he liked playing with doll and had a toy stroller for his teddies. He love flowers and fairies, he like to play with girls and boys.
He grew and had his long hair cut off (I still have his plait), he started playing rugby the reason for his hair cut.
Then he grew his hair down to his bum again and started wearing odd socks and braclets and necklaces and got his ears peirce, then came the stretchers.
Then he had his hair cut so he had a long sweeping fringe, he dyed the main part black with the fringe being purple, next he dyed the whole lot black and started wearing black eyeliner and lipstick and I would paint his nails black he went to his prom in a ruffled white shirt with a black long pirate style jacket, while all the other males had tuxedos.
He went through a few more changes and now at 27 he has his hair I a sort of viking style and has a beard.
Children go through many changes it's part of growing up and it's a parents job to allow the freedom to investigate and to guide and advice them and do them no harm and that means deciding somethings for them until they are old enough to understand the consequences of their decision because children can not always comprehend to full and lasting consequences they may have to face because of one rushed and hurried decision.
I send you much love and hope that you have found peace and happiness ❤🤗😘
I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I guess you know now, but I want to remind you that you did nothing wrong, you were just a toddler having fun, and even if you had done anything wrong you would not deserve by any means to be treated that way by anyone, much less from your parents who are supposed to protect you from any harm, even being myself victim of a violent mother I can't imagine the pain and terror you had to endure. What your father did to was beyond evil, and the fact that you mentioned that you had been beaten before by him being such a little kid makes the whole picture even more terrifying. I'm glad that he stopped being able to beat you since you were 16, I hope that you have got over the guilt you never deserved to feel, and I wish your mother is ashamed of herself for enabling your torture and guilt shaming you.
Much love and care for you 😘
How about stop defining our selves by society's expectations? Why can't boys wear dresses, play with dolls, wear makeup, be emotional and identify as boys? Why can't girls have short hair, hate pink and dolls and have stereotypically masculine activities and still identify as girls? Maybe it's time to stop giving importance to gender as a personality trait and stop trying to fit in a box. Let's start teaching kids what they are and what female, male and intersex bodies are, and tell them they don't have to conform to gender roles. This is going to save many kids from the unnecessary confusion.
So glad I'm not a teenager anymore.
Ha, ha, ha! 😂
We have to look at this issue objectively, critically and philosophically. There was a time when no one regarded sex and gender as two different things. Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary of the English language of 1952 defines gender as "to beget," "to copulate" and "to engender." It defines engender "to bring into existence." Sex and gender were regarded as the same. Why, then, did some people begin to think that they are different, that gender is a role or identity? Because of politics. Gender belongs to bodies, not identities.
It is impossible for a boy to turn into a girl. Your right kid.
Wrong
@@matsheen2564 You're talking about sex, not gender. Sex is what you're born as; whereas gender is what you identify as. Good try tho.
@@gloomballz nope. Sex and gender are the same thing. Even the dictionary says so.
I can't identify as 6 foot 6. Black. Rich. Musclar. Can't change what you are.
You can call yourself whatever you want, society, dr, nurses, teachers, cops, judges, everyone will still think you are what your born. You can't just decide one day to be something your not.
@@matsheen2564 not everyone. if someone identifies as a female when they are amab I WILL TREAT THEM AS SUCH. how hard is it to be a DECENT PERSON and not an absolute ASSHOLE. Does it effect you? no? mkay then.

What I have watched I really don't have any idea some kind of weird cult stuff
Not really a cult because at least a cult has more of a intelligent ideology
thankfully it's a minority cult
People never seem to say this, but it's so key to nonbinary identity. Biological sex has been tested and found to be a spectrum in the shape of two hills with a valley in the middle. My point is that intersex people exist and are as common as redheads. Intersex means you have Male, female, and in between biological characteristics. So why can't you want that for your body? Why can't you want to fall in between if that's what makes you feel comfortable. I don't want people to be attracted to me as a woman or a man, I want them to see someone who is androgynous. That's how I'm most comfy in life and there's a good chance a brain scan would prove that I have a trans brain and that my feelings are there for a reason. People with transgender brains have a brain closer to that of their desired sex than that of their birth sex. There is also a part in all brains that accounts for sense of self, and a trans person's has something wrong with it. It's just like being born with any other condition. And according to brain scans, the best way to fix this part of the brain is hormone therapy and otherwise transitioning. You can be born biologically female and desire to be more biologically androgynous. There is literally not a single thing wrong with that.
If you do proper research into this and still are against it, you just enjoy being a bigot and thinking your better than other people for no reason.
I feel so sorry for western society. U are going down.
Send them to school in Asia they won’t have to time to think or get confused about anything. Endless cycle of tests and assignments 😵

Kids should just be kids, gender shouldn’t be an issue
We are done for. Comfort has ruined us. We let our feelings define us. We have wiped out kindness by mandating it.
I think some of these people get confused with being gay or lesbian as well.
The thing is, there's been several times growing up I wished to be a boy, even a couple times at daycare I stood up to use the restroom like a boy, I had all these hints growing up and now I'm even more uncomfortable with my body in my teenage years, I feel regret whenever I go in a female restroom and don't really hang out with people who are female, I hang out with a boy and two people of a different gender altogether....
Have you looked up gender dysphoria? If you feel discomfort in being female that might indicate that

These kids are so confused. Just because Martha hung out with boys and when she left she was alone, suddenly she's not a girl anymore? Plus, Skye is also a feminine name through and through. As a first name for boys, it's just short for Skyler....
These kids (not just the ones in the video) confuse biological sex with their own identity and then confuse it with sexual orientation.
Male/female = biological sex.
Gay/lesbian/bi = sexual orientation
Trans/queer/ABCEF+ = own identity
For comparison, identity (sameness) is the relationship that each thing has only to itself. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_(philosophy))

This is so awful what they are teaching children. If gender can mean anything to anyone, then it has no meaning and biological sex becomes all that matters. Society can't run on self-perception. And yes you can be gay, lesbian or bisexual--- only 2 sexes so their can't be more sexualities than this. If I see a person I think is a attractive and I am attracted to men, I won't know he thinks of himself as non-binary. Personal feelings are just that, personal. How you think of yourself is not the burden for everyone you encounter to carry. God, I hate this world.
Nobody taught them anything they have figured it out themselves. I wish people would have talked about these issues when I was a kid then maybe I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much depression and loneliness.
All I see is the current generation of teens going through what every generation went through and is now demanding recognition for it.
"It's how I imagine myself ."
2 Timothy 2-5
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Instead of obssessing over a script about their identity and pronouns, these children should be out playing on the swings or on their bikes in the local park.
As long as there is no surgery below the age of 25, I guess there's no harm in all this woo-woo.
There is far too much vocal fry in this video.
Incidentally Girard Sharp attorneys (San Francisco CA) are investigating reported adverse effects of puberty blocking medication on transgender minors who have taken the drugs. Lawyers were always gonna get involved in this chaos if they could see a way of making a good living from it.
Anybody notice a sharp decline over recent months in the number of videos on YT advocating for trans stuff for under 18s?

This video is uplifting, the comments not so much. So many people who cannot understand that gender is fluid, and who would just deny the validity of trans people because it is not their experience. Just like people denied the existence of gay or bisexual people. But all of these groups have existed throughout history. Let us evolve and understand gender better without denying the existence of things you don't understand. We will all be better for it.
“American kids”
What gender identity means today = we're become so safe and privilege that now we're looking for littler things to scrutinize.
You're not wrong, but I would consider this a good thing. We are rich and privileged, and this gives us the possibility to make things better, things that don't even come to mind when you're not that privileged. We have the possibility to change the tiny things, because the big problems have already been fixed. And gender identity is important, it's not one of the tiny things. Would you rather live in a country where most of the population is too poor to think about this, including you?

@@mxsthxted not really. its more of a feeling for the person. believe me, i know i have a certain level of privilege, but its not a choice
Gender is a social construct because its perception is fluid, and changes throughout time and societies. The hierarchical structure of gender is upheld in order to maintain social control. Gender is determined by biological factors. For those with tiny minds.
It’s not “fluid” and it doesn’t change its meaning based on different societies. It’s just people making up shit, gender has aways been the same since it was created
@@mm4843 lol who created gender? And why can't it be fluid. Who made these rules?
@@whatoh3407 the person who created the WORD gender. Because it was created to be a synonym for sex. There isn’t a person who “created” gender (this whole how your brain is) shit, because it’s not real
@@mm4843 Gender is not a synonym for sex. Sex is biological. Gender is socially constructed by man. So you're wrong there.. then you answer "the person who created gender", then you say "there is no person who created gender" ... I see now how hard it is for some people to think outside the box and against whatever is socially constructed by man.
Gender IS NOT determined by “bIoLoGiCal” factors. The problem is, what they told you on them. What feminine is supposed to be or look like and what masculine is supposed to be or look like. The whole gender thing is a big and old bs.
I think it’s great that these kids are not homophobic and are more accepting of wider behaviour and expression, however I do t understand why so many seek out made up identities instead of accepting their bodies. Like, if you’re so accepting can’t you accept biology and learn to love your own body instead of rejecting it?
Gender identity is about a social construction, so people live it how they just feel it and i don’t see the problem in that. Also, having a non-cisgender identity doesn’t mean that someone have low self-esteem o doesn’t love themselves, in fact it means that they are capable to know how they feel and accept themselves
accepting things as they are isnt acceptance, its complacency. acceptance is truly being calm, loving, and proud fo who you are, not just like i don't feel comfortable but ig ill suffer in silence and just accept that the world is into ready for all this
you’re missing the whole point of gender identity. your body doesn’t define who you are
@@ely1528 of course my body doesn’t define who I am, it defines what I am
Geez, there’s a big difference between your “physical body” and what your “cultural brainwashed moron elders told you to do with it” also there’s a big difference between how you are and how the same stupid animals told you to express it. And those “what to do” with your body and “how to express yourself” can be identified as gender. Good luck out there.
I honestly doubt this video a little bit as someone who is a genderqueer teen, we don't obssess over gender pronouns and this video is slightly faulty but it's understandable.. it's not like every teen in the world was interviewed on this topic.

@@abdullahkuzhan7247 you can’t act like you know them. You don’t know what they have been through and even what social class they are. (what does that even matter anyway). Even if they are all in the same social class you don’t know how their life is.
@@AJ-np9fn I believe you are looking through the world close minded. You are only looking at what you want to see and not even trying to see it through the other sides view point. Almost every young person i know(20 and younger) does not have a problem with this. Do you are wrong in saying that the young people are not for this. A good portion of us are more open minded than past generations. Past generations are just uncomfortable with new or different situations. It doesn’t mean that these situations are bad.
It's not that parents don't understand, it's that parents do understand a lot more than children do because they all went through exactly the same things only it was much harder for them to come out as the world was less tolerant then,
As far as trans gender goes parents certainly understand a lot more, they understand what you will be giving up if you decided to go down the root of transitioning taking hormones and having cosmetic surgery that changes your life forever and there is no going back. With all the other genders you can chance your mind as there is no surgery involved unless the children are pushed by those with an agenda to believe they are not one of those genders but are in fact trans. A large number of children who decide they must be trans have mental health issues, some are autistic, some are confused. They need to spend time having counselling to investigate all their issues before setting of down the road of transitioning which is a one way street, if there is medical intervention.
Let them dress however play with whatever, wear makeup if they want, these things are reversible.
Let them be children why do they have to have a sexual preference before they understand what sex is.
Some children do feel uncomfortable in their body at some point while they are growing up, some girls get boobs early and it's embarrassing or there are those who have none, some boys are smaller than girls and some girls are taller than boys, she children are overweight, some very underweight all kids go through these things and the majority sort it out on their own in their own good time without the need for them to be told the must be the wrong sex/gender

This is sad! We should teach to not define yourself based on society's construct or your gender. Feeling like a gender is based on social construct! You are who you are! Your gender was identified by very distinct body parts not my what you felt like! I can't grasp why people think it feels a certain way to be a gender. That's a serious problem all in itself! I feel like I want to play with trucks instead of dolls doesn't make me a boy or a girl! There is no feeling to gender it just is!
Gender and behavior are very closely knitted together. Maybe not for you, but for the absolute majority it is.
That's why this is frowned upon. You want to change the entire world based on the emotional needs of a small minority.
i agree that children don’t need to define themselves by societies construct but that also means that they can define themselves as whatever they want:)) if we’re talking chromosomes and hormones that define your sex, it isn’t just girl and boy. they are technically three sexes because intersex ppl exist. gender identity is how you feel about your own gender and what you identify as ;whether you’re trans, non-binary, agender, or even identify with multiple genders as some indigenous ppl do. it is quite ignorant to leave out the fact that the world doesn’t revolve around one opinion. many different cultures/religions believe in different genders and even have gods that are considered genderless. moral of this is sex ≠ gender. if you have any questions let me know and i’d be glad to answer! -- sincerely, a non-binary teenager:))
DUDE YOU DESCRIED IT SO WELL, YET SO SIMPLY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL EVERYONE. Being a certain gender is just being the social role that was assigned to you because of your sex! Its for convenience! The female social roles and expressions accentuate typically female traits, such as dresses accentuating specific parts of the female body, it's social! That kind of thing is there because it's convenient and because it's true!
@@vxnxm6973 You seem to have missed the part about gender not being a feeling, it's just convenient social roles applied to a certain sex! It's just beneficial for everyone to follow them. You portray yourself as the gender assigned by your sex as it grants you social benefits and helps you find moral meaning behind your sex as well. Gender is simply there for convenience!

Wonderful parents. Setting up their children to a painful life of confusion, depression, loneliness and being suicidal. I thought parents were supposed to guide.
Reji They’re setting their kids up to NOT be suicidal, and to be who they are.
XsparxLY Data on suicide and depression would state otherwise.
Reji I don’t think depression and suicide is caused by the fact they’re identifying with a different gender. Dysphoria can easily cause someone to go into a deep state of depression, or to even commit suicide. That doesn’t mean the fact that they’re transgender is what causes that, it’s what insecurities and self-awareness comes along with not being born as the gender they identify with/feel like in the first place.
XsparxLY
FACT: Transgender people are 4 times likely to commit suicide.
FACT: 65-94% of people grow out of transgenderism by the time they are adults.
It is therefore logical and perfectly reasonable to argue that parents should not reinforce the hallucinations kids have and deliberately push them into a life of depression and suicidal tendencies.
Reji Again, people who are transgender will 99.9% of the time have dysphoria with their body, gender assigned at birth, and genitalia. someone who’s trans isn’t going to just kill themselves because they’re trans, transgender people will just most likely have a lot of self confidence/mental issues. Not saying you’re completely wrong, but obviously somebody who’s transgender isn’t just going to commit suicide BECAUSE of the fact that they’re transgender.

@Noa James Hmm.. I think I finally got your message, after reading it bery carefuly. Let me see if I got this right: you think that what we call someone doesn't change what they really are? Great.. that means we can keep it simple and call everyone just men and women, because it won't change what they are anyway.
@Noa James I get it. Still.. there are only two types of chromosome pares, from which one type is found in males and one in females, that's why they are called male and female. It's like we'd discover now that only children up to 5 years old have a certain thing, than lose it as they grow up, and we'd say we shouldn't attribute that to the kids, because the label doesn't necessarily mean that the kids have it. Of course this would make no sense. It's the same with the male and female genitalia. We say that men have a male genitalia because that's how they all are born, this has been so since the world has begun, and the same thing with the women.
@Noa James do you have data to support that?

"I want attention but im a basic upper class tween who hates being ignored"
They don't want attention, they need it. Explanation: kids are so overwhelmed by the world now a days, there's hate every where, there are Family problems. lMAO, they need attention, not because they are young and have picky mentality, but because their mind is dying, literally, so many things to believe in, so many information. Eyy, let the guys breath. Let them express themselves, some day they'll find the truth, but in order to understand that, they need to stop being bombarded by stupid ideas, they need love and they must be taught about the reality we live, they dont need to be judged but understood and listened, and driven without judgement. They need to be capable of communicating things because they think so, not because others taught them how to think. They need help, they don't hate being ignored, they just hate that their voice has been shut up, because the noice of us, of the adults, is so louder that the youth does not know how to speak by themselves. It's difficult for them, I know because I'm in the middle of this generation, even though I'm almost an adult, I have been through the same, actually I am.

@@jupitereye4322 I agree. At the end of the day I won’t stand in the way of anyone’s free choice, but if gender is a social construct, why don’t people just focus on changing gender norms? One of the answers at the start made it very clear many of these young kids are unable to differentiate internal identity from external norms. It must be very confusing to be a kid right now. Even science says most kids that “come out” as trans have at least one friend who identifies as trans. It’s like the cool thing to do now, spend all day questioning where you are on a made up spectrum instead of focusing on the billions of other things you could focus on. Self-reflection is useful. Self-obsession is destructive. No one cares how you feel inside other than your immediate friends and family. So just stop talking about it and live your life.
I agreed
Are you seriously teaching kids that their parents are trans-phobic? seriously? WHO are you?
That's what is called brainwashing
People never seem to say this, but it's so key to nonbinary identity. Nonbinary isn't just gender expression, that's an outdated idea of gender, or should be. Nonbinary identity is biological too the expression just may or may not follow the biology of nb people and is a different matter entirely.
Biological sex has been tested and found to be a spectrum in the shape of two hills with a valley in the middle. There is peak female biology and peak male biology and the myriad of variation in sex characteristics forming the valley in between. My point is that intersex people exist and are as common as redheads. Intersex means you physically have male, female, and/or in between biological sex characteristics. So why can't you want that for your body? Why can't you want to fall in between if that's what makes you feel comfortable. I don't want people to be attracted to me as a woman or a man, I want them to see someone who is androgynous. That's how I'm most comfy in life and there's a good chance a brain scan would prove that I have a trans brain and that my feelings are there for a reason. People with transgender brains have a brain closer to that of their desired sex than that of their birth sex. There is also a part in all brains that accounts for sense of self, and a trans person's has something wrong with it. It's just like being born with any other condition. And according to brain scans, the best way to fix this part of the brain is hormone therapy and otherwise transitioning. You can be born biologically female and desire to be more biologically androgynous. There is literally not a single thing wrong with that.
If you do proper research into this and still are against it, you just enjoy being a bigot and thinking your better than other people for no reason.
Children go through stages, they get over them. If a child wants to steal stuff, in their steal stage, we should let them? If kids "feel" like eating ice cream and that's it, we should let them? This is completely moronic.
Yeah. All this trans stuff is crazy enough. Even if it wasn't crazy, these people are even letting UNDERAGED kids make these big decisions that permanently impact their bodies (surgery, modifications, ETC). Sex is basically a much more minor decision than that, and we don't let underaged kids have sex.
Hi! you two seem a little lost, so let me break this down for you.
Sex is what your reproduction organs are based on, and guess what, there's more than two sexes! there are also people that are born with both parts! So that would make TranSEXual people male parts to woman part or woman's parts to man parts!
Gender is a social construct that society created. "Cisgender" people go by the gender they were given at birth, male or female. TransGENDER people identity and go by the opposite gender or something different! I'll use myself as an example!
I was born with women parts, but I don't identity with male or female pronouns and societal bases, meaning I would be nonbinary and use they/them, but I can still be feminine, masculine or androgynous! but Im not TranSEXual, meaning I don't want to change my sexual reproduction organs, but I do feel like my chest doesn't suit me. Does that make sense?
Another example would be Wall-E and Eve from the movie Wall-E. They both are robots and don't have sexual reproduction organs, but people still call Wall-E a Boy and Eve a girl. meaning gender is a social construct.
I hope you both understand!💜
also, yes people go through stages, but you need to be accepting through them and support them no matter what! give them freedom!

@@jupitereye4322 I see what you mean now, I apologize that I misunderstood. I do agree your identity is not your choice, and that identity and expression of identity is not the same. However, I would say as well that they are codependent and interwined. Your identity is often shaped by how people perceive you, and at the same time the way people perceive you is also tied to what your identity is. To say they aren't the same thing to me personally, while true, is often limiting. The difference (or lack of acknowledgement of the difference) isn't so much confusion as an acceptance that they often share similar characteristics. When a little boy says 'you can be whatever your want to be', he likely means 'youre allowed to be yourself and express your identity', not 'lets go to the gender store and choose our identity!'

lol my health teacher sent this to us
My teachers weren’t even allowed to use lgbtq+ terms or use gay people as examples when talking about couples until junior high and at that point it was the bare minimum- it’s not being taught in schools and that makes it hard for kids to figure themselves out when it comes to gender. I was kept somewhat isolated and I ended up ignorant for quite a bit, I still years after finding out my gender and sexuality (which took two years in the first place due to my lack of knowledge) haven’t come out because I have a hard time coming to terms with these feelings because of how long heterosexuality and cis norms were shoved down my throat by teachers, classmates, and society in general.

How is that sexualizing kids? Please elaborate
Kids don't need to question their sexuality at young ages. Implanting in their heads that sexual preference is more important than their character, and defining sexual identity over identifying self worth through accomplishment, is child abuse. They don't need "you" to help them make a choice to be gay, straight or trans. Why would they even be thinking about this at 8 years old unless they were exposed to the cult mentality of identity classification?. They need you, to say "the most important thing is that you take responsibility for your actions and contribute to your community in a positive way" "Express yourself by you good deeds, not what you wear or whether you have a dick or a vagina" The day will come, when all you child manipulators will be remembered as what you are....social experimental sadists with a need to self fulfill your your own identity issues and social justice guilt. Kids and teenagers go through phases, always have, and always will....but now, those phases are being hijacked by the woke mob.
