this, so much. when i was a little kid i wanted people to call me... shit, i don't even remember what it was now, it was some name i'd seen in a book i read and thought it was the coolest name ever. so i wanted it to be my name and told everyone so.

honestly, that's about as complex as a kid's thought process gets.

just because you were a bit simple-minded as a kid* doesn't mean other kids are.

* although come to think of it -- still true!

It also doesn't mean that you can judge anything about a kid based on what they want to be called or how they dress or what kind of toys they play with.

For the most part, gender identity isn't something that little kids think about. Most kids are happy to play with "girl toys" and "boy toys" regardless of their gender because it's a non-issue to them, and a lot of times kids will try on multiple different identities while they figure out who they are. It's not the place of anyone else to label them.

Except people do label them? And hard? Just look up about "Pink boys" to see what happens when little boys want to wear Dora the Explorer merch instead of Diego and get harassed and bullied by adults and kids, and people take the parents aside and asked why they're trying to turn their kid into a fag and....

Saying you don't want to judge kids so they shouldn't be labeled is like saying "I don't think gay marriage should be distinct from regular marriage, that's mean. Lets keep things the way they were 10 years ago when no one tried to make them into different things"

lol when i was little, i wanted everyone to call me "scar" because i thought i was secretly a lion trapped in a kid's body.

now, i'm not saying that some trans kids haven't already figured out their identities at such young ages. but adults need to stop labeling kids just because their kids do something slightly out of the norm. plenty of kids are just really really imaginative and are trying to figure out the world they live in. not every kid is having gender/sexuality/etc crisis.
