I think it would do well to remember that biological sex and gender are not the same thing.

it doesn't matter whether people think the child was 'really transgender' or not. it's not your freaking place to judge. true, children don't know what they're talking about half the time. but if this kid wants to identify as a boy, let him. he's not hurting anybody by doing so. at that age it's very important for kids to express themselves and discover who they are. would it really have been THAT hard to call the child by his preferred pronouns? really??? especially after the parents asked her to. teachers are supposed to be supportive of children, and nourish them to help them establish their personality. playing pretend is a large part of that. teachers understand this, and encourage children to use their imagination. if this teacher wanted to inspire creativity by allowing children to be themselves, then why would she refuse to address the child as his preferred pronouns because she thought he wasn't 'really transgender'? to me this indicates that this person is unfit to be a teacher due to their discriminatory actions, and i agree with the decision to fire her.

Yes, from now on let's just put "Other" on childrens birth certificates until they're 6 years old and can tell us what gender they picked out of the hat and want to be referred as.

nah, this isn't a society THAT well-developed yet. :)
