Toddlers and Gender
In my life, I’ve had some good friends who have been transgendered. Recently, our toddler has started asking about how Mama and Papa seem to have different parts. Mama was trying to explain how girls have yonis and boys have penises, but she got caught up as she tried to explain this in such a way as to be comprehensible to a toddler but not impose hetero-normative ideas as first principles. If anyone reading this has any ideas, they would be welcome.
