Lacking the words for it is so real. I'm working with 2-3 year olds and a big part of what I'm doing this year is helping equip them with the understanding of gender (including the words to describe these things) and working with staff on anti-bias and how to recognise their own.

It's refreshing to see how so many kids by the time they're hitting primary school are knowledgeable about this stuff. I know one primary school near me as 'theys' toilets along with the boys/girls toilets. I am so excited for these generations to grow up and start running things.

i was really surprised when i took the bus the other day, was just unsuspectingly sitting there, when i heard a voice behind me "wow they have such beautiful hair". i turn around and there's like two children sitting there. they see me, ask straight out "are you a boy or a girl" and i was like ... how do they know about such questions? aren't they a bit young for that? and i was just like ... it took me a moment to reflect what was happening. i just kind of never heard anyone ask these questions with such ease, without stumbling through these words with embarrassment.

I couldn't imagine a 30 year old asking that.

that's really great work to be doing! some of my friends with kids have been just so great about letting them express themselves however they like and seeing that genuinely gives me a lot of hope.
