Morgan just posted this about my four-year-old granddaughter Lilly (who I affectionately call GIR.) The posting was so wonderful that it brought me to tears. I had to share it.
"So apparently Ms...... At Lilly's daycare felt that she was using the wrong noun with the pronoun for grandfather. Ms...... Told Lilly, she had to use 'he' not 'she' when referring to her grandfather. Lilly told her it was 'she', so the teacher said she needed to call dad grandmother then. At which Lilly explained, 'no, a long time ago grandfather and my grandmother were in love, when she was a boy, and that is my mommy and uncle came to be alive. But she really wasn't a boy. She is a girl. So she changed like a butterfly. Now grandfather is a girl.' Enough said, no other explanation needed."
Consider this when transphobes say that children will be confused by transgender people. Kids absolutely get it. It's the adults that get confused.
