Blog as filing cabinet item: lovely resource for talking to kids about gender identity.
RantWoman LOVES this post for its simplicity, openness, and smoothness in covering many bases.

HOWEVER, RantWoman it seems is NEVER without the blessing of somehow finding things to grumble about and oh BOY does RantWoman have grumbles. The authors assume everyone reading this item will be nice and liberal and agree with their approach. RantWoman wishes to point out that even in this day and age of gay marriage and pronoun gender preferences in introductions not every child will have sensitive perceptive parents who think it's fine to be gay. Some children have parents who are, um, NOT fine about people being gay. Or children have parents from other cultures who think being transgendered is really weird, wicked, and of course impermissible. These children may ESPECIALLY need sensitive parental figures who agree with the blog post, even if the children have to borrow the parents from the kids who got them in the first place!
