Avery Jackson did a non-medical transition at the age of four. At the time, they felt more comfortable as a girl. As they grew up and their understanding of gender evolved, they decided nonbinary transgender suited them better.
And now that they are 15, their family is moving out of Missouri because they fear the recent draconian anti-trans laws.
“No longer identifies as a girl” does not mean they identify as a boy. They are still trans. They knew from the age of 4 that being a boy was not right for them.
I don’t think they changed their mind. I think they just found a better understanding of who they were.
These bigots know nothing about trans people yet think they are qualified to criticize them.
And even if the kid did end up identifying as cis (and for simplicity’s sake, let’s say that they had only transitioned socially) there would be no actual harm done. Self exploration is essential for understanding one’s identity.
But the sanctity of cishood is more important to socially conservative people than trans people’s desire to be authentic.
