Prof Warns Children Especially Susceptible to Transgender Ideology
“children think that when something changes its appearance, its underlying reality changes too”
This is an excellent reminder about why children should not be indulged on this issue.

Professor warns: Children are particularly susceptible to transgender ideology
In a recent talk and subsequent Internet post, a professor of psychology disputed the idea that children can honestly determine their “gender identity”—whether or not they are a boy or a girl—at their earliest ages.
Katie Alcock, a psychology instructor at Lancaster University in Lancashire, England, recently gave a presentation on childhood gender identity that she then turned into a post on Medium. In that post, Alcock states that she is “very interested in how children learn about sex and about stereotypes.”
Noting that transgender activists routinely insist that children as young as three and four are capable of deciding whether or not they are a boy or a girl, Alcock states that research into children’s “developing knowledge of sex and gender” has been going on for decades. That research has revealed some telling consistencies, she writes:
[W]hen [boys and girls] see all the girls at nursery wearing pink and having long hair, well, that’s what girls do! And they also realise, from what people are saying, and from how their parents dress them, what toys they are given, and what toys other children who look like them (same clothes, same hair) what they are supposed to like and do based on what sex they are…
So, based on the idea that girls have long hair and boys have short hair, [a three-year-old boy] is also age-perfect in thinking that when appearance changes, sex changes too. Until the age of about 7 (yes, 7 — in some children it’s older) children think that when something changes its appearance, its underlying reality changes too. This doesn’t just apply to sex, it applies to pretty much everything.
This kind of generalization, Alcock notes, is generally “a very useful skill for a baby or child,” insofar as it allows them to make associations between things with which they’ve had prior experience, such as food or automobiles.

This isn’t a warning, it’s a roadmap for the LGBTQ+ group to recruit by early age indoctrination/programming.
He’s right, though. Crossdressing once or twice is fairly common in the young as part of make believe, dress up, and general curiosity.
Good grief!!
This week the little darling thinks he/she is a he/she.
Last wee the little one was acting out being a dog, crawling on all fours and barking. (Doubtful even the most “woke” Liberal parent would agree to take said child outside to pee and poop….then again, ya never know nowadays!)
Next week the child is a superhero capable of flight. (And possibly getting plenty of bumps and bruises in the process.)
The following week the child is a robot.
So, which one is the “REAL” child?
Attendant question — who exactly is the ADULT in the whole scenario who will provide a tail on this errant childhood kite that will wildly flit about during childhood until he/she(/it) finally progressed into mature decision-making?
