Why do you think people are asking these kids complicated questions about gender and sex? Who's asking? Teachers aren't asking. Their friends aren't asking. Maybe a very slim minority of parents?

And at the secondary level, the most they're gonna get asked is "what pronouns do you prefer?" and that just lets teachers respect kids choices.

Where are kids getting complicated questions about what gender they are? When is it ever more complicated than "are you a girl or a boy?"

Edit: I should clarify and say some kids use they/them and may identify as non binary, but, like, they just tell folks and go from there. It's not complicated.
