Tbh, I don’t see how gender identity can be benign in a world where we still see so much discrimination and hatred against such ideas, but I am glad it was in this persons household. Though even then, I am not sure if it’s truly ever “benign”, it’s part of one’s self actualization and therefore meaningful and impactful for the person experiencing it

lol yeah, neither is gender expression even in an accepting society. I took benign in this case to mean like not family shattering, like it might be in conservative households
