Usually, children with gender expansion are very suspicious, they spend a lot of energy in orienting themselves in a team, explaining their actions, correcting people in relation to their name, identity and absorbing pain and anger, said by people who do not understand or do not accept them. Such children living in dysfunctional families can be unhappy, closed from groups, most often they are more comfortable at home. There are many children whose school causes alarm and fear daily. Communicating and interacting with each other can be very tiring for children with different views.
Avalon School in St. Paul, Minnesota, which has a teacher, Carrie Bakken, conducts school-wide seminars on gender identity and expression, and curriculum and policy changes can be made to make them more inclusive for these children.
Now in many families this has become an unremarkable and quite familiar feature of a person, members of such families lead a normal, familiar lifestyle. Children talk about their gender identity the same way they do about any other part of their lives. Now they have no complexes and feelings of rejection from other children, they feel like ordinary, normal and healthy people.
