Oh honey, no one is telling children they're trans. Trust me. Everyone is telling children that they're cis, repeatedly, hard, insistently, like a chorus of total negation. If a kid manages to figure out that they're trans in spite of every fucking thing in the world telling them they aren't trans, it wasn't because someone told them they were trans. The most they likely ever heard, and it's not all that likely, is that it's okay to be trans.<\/p>
But you know that already. You don't want anyone to stop telling children they're trans, because no one does that.

No one told me I was trans. I wish someone had told me when I was young enough for it to have mattered. And the message I got from society certainly wasn't, \"You might possibly be trans.\" It was, \"Yes, there are a few trans people and they are freaks and jokes and you can't possibly be trans.\"<\/p>
I hope that might have improved a little. I think some kids get a more balanced message, like, \"There are trans people and that's okay.\" (That's slightly sarcastic.) Hell, \"Trans people are freaks and jokes,\" is still an improvement over, \"There are no trans people.\"<\/p>
