I think that is the first time I have agreed with you enough to give you a star.. People really are born with either a male orientation or a female. Some are switch hitters which I never have understood.. But I am male 100% and have never (makes me want to throw up) been attracted to another male. Give me women or give me death !
She was TWO, you goof. She had limited experience. The point is, she knew that there was such a thing as boys and girls at the age of two. She knew there was a difference.

What does sexual attraction have to do with it? I thought this thread was about trans kids and gender identity.

So what? Knowing what a boy and a girl is at age two doesn't equate to knowing what you are sexually attracted to.
A two year old isn't even capable of having an orgasm.
Seriously, people really start developing their identities when they start having orgasms.
I speak from experience.

You are simply not getting it... seeing the difference, does not make you, at that age, capable of KNOWING the difference.

Wow, that's all there is to it... I'm a transgender dolphin shaped koala that loves sushi and will not ever let anyone tell me otherwise.
Or you're denying my rights as a martian rock.
I'm a glass of orange juice.
Don't spill me bro!

however trans kids are also told they are a certain gender based on their sex, but they KNOW that they are a different gender. That's because gender identity comes from the brain.

No one taught her that. She observed it in her own life. All the boys she knew in her life had short hair. All the girls had longer hair.

Seeing a difference and recognizing it means you know there's a difference. She might not have understood the sex difference at two (penis vs vagina), but she understood the gender difference. She would see a girl in a pretty dress and long hair, and she would say that it was a girl. She never got confused and called it a boy. She would see a boy in t-shirt and pants with very short hair and she would say it was a boy. She knew there was such a thing as a boy and a girl and she knew they were different. She also knew that she was a girl. Yes, we had conversations about her being a girl, so one might claim she only knew she was a girl because she was told, however trans kids are also told they are a certain gender based on their sex, but they KNOW that they are a different gender. That's because gender identity comes from the brain.
