This is a bit of a personal piece I wanted to get out there. Some people out there think that one's gender should be unchanging, and based solely on what you were born as. Sure, most people are content as the gender they were born with, but not everyone is.
Some born as little boys want to grow up to be girls. Some born as little girls want to grow up to be boys. And that's okay!
Now, let me be absolutely clear, I'm not advocating for gender reassignment surgery to be done on kids. No rational person is. But there should be nothing wrong with letting kids wear different clothes and going by different pronouns while they figure themselves out.
I personally knew on some level I wanted to be a girl during my childhood, but was never allowed to express myself until I was in my 20s. I wish I had been allowed to exist as my true authentic self much sooner. But, can't change the past. All we can do is fight for a future where questioning kids can experiment with their presentation and identity in a safe, healthy way.
