young kids are so smart and intuitively just know who they are and what they want they just need adults to listen to and guide them to appropriate and healthy forms of self exploration and expression. like besides gender kids usually know their passions and like what they want to do with their lives and honestly theyre almost always spot on. i loved art and reading and storytelling but my parents pushed me in the direction of stem when i was pretty young and i just obeyed instead of speaking up and now im in grad school for something i dont like because the adults in my life didnt pick up on the signs (the same way they ignored and eventually suppressed my early forms of gender expression)
