> Do you believe that the mere concept of questioning your gender identity or expression is something that should be kept from the minds of minors?

Not at all

I just think that the clothes you choose to wear shouldn't have anything to do with gender identity

They may be related because it might relate to how you choose to express your gender

But the fact is that clothes are clothes, not genders



> Not at all

Then ultimately you and I agree on the main crux of this conversation, the part that actually matters.


I don't think we do

I'm vehemently against the "transing" of anyone who exhibits behavior or preferences that are outside of cultural norms for their biological sex

They might be trans, yes. But they might not. I'm very very very against putting people in the trans category when they shouldn't be


Again, gender identity and gender expression is something that is up to the individual. You don't label someone as trans, you ask them how they identify, just as if you were asking what name they go by.

You and I are on the exact same page. If you still don't think so, please make the distinction clear.
