4.They worried X might be misunderstood or rejected at school because people are used to children with clear genders.
5.Other children started acting like X because they saw they didn’t have to follow gender rules, like “some boys started playing with dolls” (Gould 7) and “some girls started playing with trucks” (Gould 7).
