@diannaeanderson Could you tell me what you related to her and what she understands at that age? I would like to understand. — PolitiTweet.org

@ECMcLaughlin @yashar "...to be a boy, just be you." I'd like to understand what it means to say a 5 year old (say) is nonbinary? How would you articulate it? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ECMcLaughlin @yashar Could you help me understand this? My memory is hazy, of course, but I don't remember having any sense, in Kindergarten, of what it meant to be a boy or girl, let alone what it meant to feel like one, and I think my parents would have told me, *there's no right or wrong way — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ndrichardson So you mean you want them to retain saying/teaching *some people don't feel like they are a boy or a girl* but eschew the label? — PolitiTweet.org

For social conservatives: does anyone object to this? https://t.co/jZyiWeBRNF — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Okay so now a question for progressives. Does this seem age-appropriate to you for a Pre-K class or do you think (as I do) that there's no way kids that age will understand what "non-binary" means? Does anyone disagree and think that's a good thing to introduce in pre-K? https://t.co/48buPJOPhg — PolitiTweet.org

@FightOnTwist What both of you said sounds very reasonable to me — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I don't know which one of these plausible-sounding perspectives is closer to the truth and I wonder if there are any experts in early childhood education who can point me to how curriculum should be worded and how these decisions about what is age-appropriate are made? https://t.co/H1m8Qb0d9B — PolitiTweet.org

@jbicknell @RochleyII @yashar Could you articulate why you find it absurd? I'm trying to make sure I understand all the reactions to this. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@UnderSneege I'm not sure what you mean? That is, I agree this lesson comes from a place of thinking it's okay rather than objectionable to be gay, but isn't it in fact true that people love other people of the same sex and we call them gay or lesbian? — PolitiTweet.org

@SooperMexican Isn't *oversimplifying things* kind of inevitable for all kindergarten classes? — PolitiTweet.org

@lefthookpodcast Can you explain why you think so? — PolitiTweet.org

Question for social conservatives: do you object to this being taught in Kindergarten? And if so, how would you articulate your objection? https://t.co/pC49OoItmu — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias In the early blogosphere I was like *who should I read* and then I thought, huh, I wonder if Rafael Yglesias has a son who blogs? And he did! So I have read you ever since entirely for that reason. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias In the early blogosphere I was like *who should I read* and then I thought, huh, I wonder if Leo Tolstoy has a descendant who blogs? I could find one, so then I thought, does Rafael Yglesias have a son who blogs? And he did! So I have read you ever since entirely for that reason. — PolitiTweet.org

I've been asking for a lot of free labor from bird Twitter lately so I'm going to pivot for my next captioning need and ask automotive Twitter what kind of car this is and Bruce Springsteen Twitter if it appears in any of his songs? https://t.co/8s3h0mhhyO — PolitiTweet.org

@mario_anchor @S___Elliott My layman's guess would be that hiring a manager who says whiteness is bad and there are no good white people is not a sound lawsuit-avoidance strategy but I'd be curious to hear from some employment lawyers — PolitiTweet.org

As an outsider to the DEI industry it is difficult to tell if this person's perspective is considered conventional wisdom or a wild outlier, in part because I've never encountered a public debate between industry insiders. — PolitiTweet.org
