    what. is. your. alternative.

    I swear you must not be reading my comments. How do you refer to a child for the first five years of their life if giving them a name, even a temporary one, is transphobic?

      Not shoving people into boxes we know aren’t accurate based on a 2 second glance at baby genitals.

      Why is that even a thing you want to do?

          I notice first off you’re conveniently ignoring how I have been referring to sex designations for the past several posts and instead exclusively focusing on my earlier statement about names.

          Makes me doubt your faith, that.

          I will broaden and ask why you think any imposition of a gender on a person who has not yet informed you what it is is laudable or appropriate, be that marker on a certificate or a gendered name?

                You: “The fact that society does this is a problem!”

                Me: “Okay. What do you think we should do instead?”

                You: “I refuse to answer this question”

                Are you trolling?

                  Stop doing that. Christ on a cracker.

                  If I told you “kicking puppies is wrong” would you demand ‘an alternative’ to do instead?
                  Don’t kick puppies.

                    Suppose you want your child to come inside and they haven’t chosen their own name yet. What do you do?
