To all those who just don't get it!

*Scenerio for you* If a child was going into school as a boy (say 8 year old) let's call him Sam. Then say six months later he turned around and said he wanted to dress as a girl and be called Sarah. All his friends and peers have ONLY ever known him as Sam. Now you tell me how a school/ teachers then explain that to a classroom of 30+ children who are 7/8 years old? Then to a school of say 600 children who have 4/5 years olds in reception? WITHOUT causing confusion??? Love to hear how anyone here questioning my concerns, would tackle that situation to ensure EVERY child can FULLY understand how, why, Sam has changed!?

Why you generally find, hun, is that kids will be kids regardless of their gender...so, irrespective of the child being Sam or Sarah, they'll still be playing the same way and doing pretty similar things...albeit in a skirt or dress...and other children will just see it as 'play' rather than anything too sexual...

You give children too much credit for being very highly intelligent and complicated when they're very simple people with simple needs....

...and this is coming from a teacher, ok?

@KarenDuponteDurose I'm not a teacher. Never said any where that I was. To claim children are simple with simple needs is incorrect. Your whole reply is derogatory towards children and you haven't understood my post at all.
