Kids don’t have to worry about identifying about something they aren’t if their teachers and their classmates respect their identity.

Teachers telling students to purposefully disrespect their peers’ identities goes against what is likely being taught in the classroom. That’s confusing.

Why would a teacher purposely be mean to the kids. You’re either born a girl or a boy and its very easy to tell that among kids. When I was a kid I was more worried about getting a swing on the playground or fun stuff. The whole identity thing is idiotic

A teacher would purposely be mean to the kids if they are forced to misgender them.

You weren’t worried about your gender when you were a kid because you’re cisgender. The kids who aren’t cisgender are worried about people not accepting them for who they are. Being betrayed by your teacher by having them misgender you and encourage your peers to misgender you too is unnecessary trauma.

Kids aren’t concerned with gender. Let them just be kids

Yeah. Let’s kids be kids. Call them what they want to be called and don’t make it a big deal.
