    Wow before school ? I never would have guessed.

    What social situations are kids put in that make them confront the question of their gender? Is it mostly like marketing and toys and stuff? Or more like family/social pressure to conform to “roles” (baseball v ballet)?

    Just seems so odd for a kid to have to think about gender in general, I’m trying to imagine non-creepy situations where it would come up lol

        I think it feels creepy to me because I have 30+ years of brain wires telling me that sex and gender are the same thing. I know they are not, but my brain doesn’t.
