Unfortunately, she's not alone. There's a whole crop of young adults who think gender/sex is a fluid thing.

Seems to me that the problem isn't so much that Gender is fluid — Gender is always in-process of cultural renegotiation and cross-pollinization — but rather, whether Gender's fluidity is untethered to stable biological realities (i.e. Sex) as the radical genderists assert.
IOW, fluidity-within-limits vs unlimited fluidity.
Let's start with a basic assertion: Gender isn't fluid. Gender biology is a hard-reality thing.
Gender roles & norms are something a society can negotiate. But a tomcat must always be a tomcat.
I'll be honest - - - we have a boy dog and a girl dog and I sometimes "mis-gender" them. Say 'good boy' to the girl dog and 'good girl' to the boy dog. Pronouns are tricky and sometimes I get confused, and the last thing I want to do is raise sexually confused dogs, so I'm trying to say 'good dog' instead.

Boop suffers from canine treatandcenterofattentionmorphism. What color flag do I need for that? Words mean nothing. Actions (treats and ear rubs) matter.
