They play and experiment with gender roles continuously, as is entirely natural and normal for children to do. They are all really LOVING their new body book this week!

How does she ''know'' that none of them went on to develop dysphoria? Has she kept in touch with all of her students?

Maybe she never encountered an actual trans child? Maybe all the cis kids feel comfortable experimenting around her, but the trans ones don't? Maybe she carefully channels the trans ones into "experimenting", and then proudly proclaims that this is all that's needed?

The same people who now say that trans kids aren't really trans (because trans is just a political fad) and just need more freedom to express themselves --
* 10-20 years ago would have been strongly against gender-role experimentation because it might "turn kids gay"
* 20-30 years ago would have been horrified at a boy wearing a dress
* 50-60 years ago would have been shocked at a boy with long hair
* in the middle ages, would have executed a girl for having short hair and refusing to wear dresses (see Joan d'Arc)

That said, I'm glad she's encouraging them to experiment. I can assume good faith and goodwill on her part in her interactions with children -- but she also heavily implies that this is evidence against the existence of transgenderness, which it isn't.

 It's good that even gender-dysphoria "skeptics" are now encouraging flexibility in gender expression -- but it's important to note that not too long ago, that same {{l/ip|social stagnationist}} mentality used to attack this as sick and dangerous (especially for children).

-She may not be of that mindset, but she's giving them fuel, and holding back the kind of progress which today allows her do give her students this freedom.
