"I took my son in to his pediatrician because he was having pain on his penis. He has been potty training and I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t something underlying wrong. Turns out he has been tugging it too much. LOL. Anyway, I was talking to Dr. Trainer explaining my sons exploration of his penis, also sharing that I had changed a little girls diaper in front of him and he looked and said, “no penis!” I responded to my son, “Some people are born with penises, and some with vaginas and some have both a penis and a vagina.” Intentionally leaving gender out of the conversation and sticking to biological sex, because he is young and for us gender is a more complicated subject. I shared with Dr. Trainer that I would explain gender when he is a little older, because he just recently turned two. The doctor looked at me and was like, “no…. It’s simple, girls have vaginas and boys have penises, the end. It doesn’t need to get more complicated than that, you will confuse him.” I ...
explained we are an LGBT family and for us, it is more complicated than that. We have friends who are girls with penises and boys with vaginas. So, we are approaching it differently. I explained, at this age, we would talk about biological sex and when he is older we would explain gender is in the brain and how someone feels. In our house we are both closer to non-binary, so we don’t have such rigid binary gender rules. He basically told me that it was harmful to confuse a child like this…. He went on to say those were adult things and not things that should be talked about with children… Which is super culturally insensitive and not his place. I am also worried that if Dr. Trainer works with a kiddo that comes out as transgender before turning 18 that he will be just as dismissive and insensitive to them as he was to me. Which could be very harmful. So, I shared some resources with Andrea (the office manager) on some of the medical CEU’s for working with people who identified as transgender, so that maybe he would take this as a learning opportunity and educate himself. However, based on Andrea’s indifferent attitude, I feel like she plans to tell him how I feel and thats about it. She said there has never been complaints about him. Which is great, but does that mean you don’t take this one seriously? IDK. I know we won’t be seeing him again, thats for sure. Hopefully he takes this as an opportunity to educate himself and grow. But you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink…. So if you are an LGBT family or your kiddo identifies as LGBT, you might consider getting them a different doctor. "
