    Both of those situations, and also kind of neither. If you ask a kid what gender they are they can reliably tell you. Not just because they were told what to say, but because they can identify it themselves

    I can’t think of any situations where it would be creepy. Asking about a kid’s sex or sexuality is kinda weird, but I don’t see how gender is the same

      I think it feels creepy to me because I have 30+ years of brain wires telling me that sex and gender are the same thing. I know they are not, but my brain doesn’t.
