  • Any promotion of the concept of gender and gender roles is a bad idea imo.

    I wholeheartedly agree with what you said there! (even if it might not be what you meant)

    We should treat children (and people at large) as neutrally as possible and wait for them to decide for themselves.

    Like no expressed expectations, just some tools to understand who they are :)

    Gender and gender roles have always been there, what’s promoted is understanding of these concepts and self determination.

    What’s the issue with that?

    It’s pretty neutral and just defines some terms (sex, gender identity, gender expression, romantic and sexual attraction) and not much more imho.

    Regarding gender roles…

    To me this feels as a non-issue. Trans folks don’t have much in terms of representation. It’s a natural pattern to try to identify with figures that look the most like you. A tomboy girl and a transmasc boy can at the same time identify themselves with e.g. Mulan without impeding on each other’s interpretation, can’t they?
