"I knew I was a boy when I was a toddler. I was writing fake love letters and signing them 'Jason.' Every little aspect of my life, that is who I was, who I am, and who I knew myself to be."

Oxford dictionary defines a toddler as

a young child who is just beginning to walk.

All these trans children were so advanced way beyond their years! Instead of babbling nonsense like most toddlers do, Jazz Jennings as a bairn supposedly spoke in full, grammatically-correct sentences and asked when the good fairy was coming to turn his penis into a vagina. And now El Page tops Jazz by saying that when she was just learning to stand upright and toddle around, she not only could read and write already - she could write love letters!

When I was around 5, I was scared about taking a bath because I thought jello would come out of the faucet like it did in the Ghostbusters movie. But here's Jazz and Ellen waxing poetic about vaginas and writing love letters with an alter ego at age 3. Fuck outta here with that shit.

I dont doubt these people are nuts, but they are so far into the cult, they're having false memories being implanted in them.

When I was around 5, I was also afraid of taking baths and any situation that involved removing my underwear coz my mother had explained that girls/women get pregnant when a seed is placed up inside us where the womb is - but she didn't say how exactly the seed got in there. So I went through a brief period when I was deathly afraid that a seed would get inside me and I'd end up pregnant before starting first grade. For extra protection, I began wearing several pairs of underpants at once - and one day I wore my PJ bottoms to kindergarten scrunched up under my skirt too. Fortunately, the teacher noticed this when I was climbing the jungle gym and called my mom, who took me aside and filled me in on the piece of the puzzle I was missing... LOL.

This is such a perfect story. I remember having a similar magical thinking, trying to make sense of the world as I picked up little tidbits about babies, pregnancy, and private parts. I distinctly remember wondering when my penis would grow in, because my older brother had one. I figured once I was his age, I'd have one too. He might've been 6 at the oldest, I would've been 2 or 3. I may have even asked my mom if it was going to happen. I identified with what I could see on him in our shared baths, versus my mom's full bush. I didn't even think to ask when I'd get my bush like mom.

LOL, your mention of your mom's bush reminds me: when I was a teenager I used to take my little sister in the shower with me, coz that was easier than giving her a bath. This meant her face was around the level of my crotch. She used to call my pubic hair "fur" & was quite taken with it. I'd hear her tell her little playmates out of the blue, "My sister Mark has really nice fur."
