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
Well, young children discriminate against “weirdos”, like anyone autistic etc
My kids noticed physical extremes before anything. Of course they would have to point it out to me as loud as possible.
We were in the grocery store, and my three year old says, as loud as he can, “DAD! Look at that huge guy! He must eat A LOT of FOOD!”
Damnit, kid…
I mean, he must have connected getting fat from eating lots of food from somewhere, right?
I think it was cartoons. A lot of times the chubbier characters will eat more food or junk food.
Thanks for reminding me of my childhood trauma
