"Mom, can people be both a girl and a boy?" : Parenting | White woman does her best to set her son up for years of bullying

https://old.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/1ftaasy/mom_can_people_be_both_a_girl_and_a_boy/?sort=controversial

								

								

He's 7. He's been in public school for a month. We live in small town Montana. I asked him what he wanted her to know, I told him about pronouns. He doesn't care if we call him he or she. He is willing to keep using the boys bathroom. So I tell his teacher and she says "thanks for letting me know".

Today at school he told some of his classmates and tells me that now they aren't his friends anymore, that they moved away from where he was sitting and won't come near him now.

What should I do? I both want to be chill and just let him be him whether he keeps that identity, or is just trying it on. We live in small town Montana though, I want to empower him and encourage him to express himself honestly, I also want to encourage him to closet to keep him safe and that's so messed up.

Should I ask to meet with the mental health department at the school for advice? Is that appropriate? Hhhheeeelllppp.

You should've told him "No" and moved on instead of putting silly shit like this in his head.

Keep this reddit post so you can show it to his therapist in 13 years.

LMFAO
