Personally I feel that school should not push any gender stuff, and especially not before third grade. But I also do not think the school should be required to blab that kind of info to parents. There are too many screwed up parents and kids should also have a degree of personal directional choice. Also a lot of this stuff is too nebulous. When I was a kid, I played with the boys sometimes and with the girls sometimes, it would have been silly to say that just because I had a variety of interests, that my parents should be told I had gender confusion.
Times have changed so much. Now tomboys are told they're transgender. I think there may be extreme cases where parents don't need to know everything, but I also think that's in regards to older children.
Yep, that's the scary part for me. All I wanted to do was jump off swings, It would have causes a lot of probs later if they tried to say that made me a boy. I mean I probably would have said OK whatever about it at that time because I didn't care about any of that stuff, I just wanted to play my favorite games. But it would have been a mess later when I went into puberty and actually started to care more.
The scary part for me, is parents having the opinions we just expressed are having their kids taken away. Their all or nothing, my way or the highway has hurt many kids. The detrans community is huge, and they treat them awful.
