And it's important to distinguish them.
Our gender identity really isn't related to who we're then attracted to.
It's it's they're totally separate.
You know, some people who are totally aligned in their gender are heterosexual.
Some are homosexual, some are bisexual and and broader than that.
And the same is true for folks in the transgender community.
Some people who are trans are also straight, and some are gay, and some are bisexual and and pansexual and beyond.
So we we often confuse the two because I think what first shows up for families is that their kid will do something.
I use the language my son is gender expansive.
Um, I don't know exactly what gender journey we're on, but what I know is the word gender expansive means his expression, the way he's always done stuff, was not typically boy.
He just showed broader interests and toys and clothes and things that sort of expand our old notion of the of the gender boxes.
And so that's why I use the word gender expansive.
And sometimes
Gender expansive kids really are just checking that out.
That's why there's dress-up clothes in preschools, and you know, kids boys will ask for fingernail polish and girls will check stuff out as a totally really common part of development.
For a lot of those kids, that's exactly what it is.
They're just checking it out.
They're relating to their mom or their dad or that kind of a thing, right?
And it and it doesn't become
an identity piece.
