Arguing with some hogs about it and not sure where I stand. Feel like it's a noble goal that should happen some day, but personally, if I had a kid I wouldn't do it because I'd fear they'd get bullied for it. Thoughts?

    First, for most people gender identity is congruent with their body, and the chance they arent cis isnt very high. So you run a very high risk of traumatizing the poor kid. Second - external social pressures are too big, and you run a big risk of traumatizing your child.

    I'm having trouble understanding this. How would, say, using gender neutral language to refer to a kid until they figure it out themself traumatize them?
