I bet this kid still gets beat up for it. Despite the “appropriate” counseling.

or because of it.

Actually s/he already got beat up and was told s/he fights like a girl. Probably lost the dodgeball game for the team because s/he throws like a girl... /sar

I don’t know if the kid will be beat up, at 3rd grade they’d just think it was weird and he/she would probably end up being more isolated.

It is ridiculous that a child that age would have any idea about being a boy or a girl. Heck, my son thought he was Batman for a year and then became a cowboy. Instead of the kids in school getting counseling it sounds like the parents and the child need it.
