The rhetoric that you can somehow make kids trans that would otherwise be cis just by exposing them to new ideas is getting extremely tiresome.

Once kids are able to relate confused inarticulate feelings with coherent patterns of behavior, they can begin to conform.

Sometimes, that conformity means adapting their presentation and physiology to their new gender. Formerly cis-presenting kids transition under this model.

Other times it means internalizing their anxiety and closeting themselves to avoid social stigma. Cis-presenting kids delay and decline to transition under this model.

A Woke Teacher encourages the former while a Based Trad Teacher encourages the later.
