If society wasn't obsessed with gendering kids so much

How would that look?

IDK treating them as kids and not making a big deal that boys play sports and girls learn to clean and cook and take care of baby dolls. It's not 1950 anymore. Playing baseball with a child that wants to play baseball and tea party with a child that wants to have a tea party. If a "boy" wants to grow out his hair and wear pink where is the harm in that?

I would say that there is no harm in what you mention at all. It's just life and we should all be allowed to gravitate towards that in which we drawn to.

But to me transgender at 9 is completely different.

There have been many studies and brain scans on gender. And they are all different. 9 year olds know what they like, don't like. They know that they don't see themselves as assigned to their birth sex identification. If the parent lets the child grow in accepting themselves for who they feel they are and don't push those social standards that others have made I think that it seems perfectly normal. I mean you don't make a child play with a toy they don't like do you? You don't make your daughters take home ec. because she needs to learn to sew right?
