But the point is, they start doing that before they even know they are transgendered. They don’t go “oh! I transgendered! Now let me see how everyone thinks girls should act and I will act like that”, I think it is more like they start out preferring girls and then realize later on that they are transgendered.
Sure. As far as they know (with the examples I know), they’re a girl and they have a penis. They’re not trans, they’re a girl.
Wait, I’m not allowed to a call a transgendered person, transgendered anymore? When did that happen?
Context. If you’re talking about a four-year-old trans child, they don’t have the vocabulary to say trans, but they do know boy and girl. It’s okay to use words children don’t understand, but don’t expect them to understand you.
And sure, they’ve heard adults say that boys have penises and girls don’t, but they can look down their own pants for proof the adult is wrong, QED. It’s not until they learn a little more about society works that they identify as trans. Until then they’re just a girl like any other girl.
And despite everyone trying brainwashing them with how people with penises should act and what they should like, they still end up liking girl things.
No, that’s the thing. There are very few penises in your average media or parental message to kids. The message is that boys do this and girls do this, and they by and large accept these messages. It’s just when someone tells them that only boys have penises that they roll their eyes because they’ve got the proof right there.
Also, some of the girls with penises like boy things. They’re tomboys. Trans tomboys.
but most “girls with penises” like girl things. A lot of the time, is that not usually the first sign to the parents that they are dealing with a “girl with a penis”?
It really has nothing to do with what activities you like, although there’s a large overlap.
disagree.
Sure.
